hi all well it looks like tigs will run again, thank you neilD got a crank and set of con rods from the guys at sportsbike spares,they have just split two tiger engines so more parts are available,progress is a bit slow on the tigs but should speed up soon,i have read both rybes and bruken's threads and if my old girl turns out half as good as theirs i will be pleased, stunning build guys,i will also be doing mustangs wheel convertion and yes mustang i will be putting a new chain and sprockets on tigs,one thing i'm not sure on is the clutch it has been sitting in water contaminated oil for at least 4 years it looks ok plenty of material left but im not sure how well the bonding will hold up to the water,i used to work on automatic gearboxes and if they got water in the tranmision fluid they would fall apart so a bit worried as to how well these will hold up, if i can get through this summer with them that would be great :D
