[Tigers] Tiger Fulcrum Pins

[Buck Trippel]

I believe Doug Jennings still sells his CrMo version of the pins in stock dimensions. I bought a set last year.

FYI y'all:

 

After 15 years and roughly 17,000 miles, during a routine service (oil change and filter, grease etc) I was surprised to find the Fulcrum Pin bushings protruding from their mountings on my Mark 1A.

Thinking back, the Tiger had endured a very rough trip around the Cabot Trail during a period when some serious road construction maintenance was ongoing, resulting in some heavy duty pothole craters that gave the suspension a serious beating. Regardless, they had to be replaced, and knowing the Pin reputation for failure, I decided to replace them as well.

I couldn't find a source in North America, but was told to contact J.O. Engineering in the U.K., who produce them. I was surprised and impressed with the obvious quality of these Pins. (See Photo)

They are quite spendy, however, but from the look of them, worth the money, setting me back ~$150 CAD each, (roughly $110 USD) including shipping. (Quality has a price tag!)

They are no longer available from J.O.. They are now being sold by 

sunbeamalpinetigerspares.com <http://sunbeamalpinetigerspares.com>  in the U.K

The service was extraordinary, arriving in Canada the next day via "UPS Expedited". Your mileage may vary.
