On a similar note (or should I say "thud"). When I restored my Tiger, I
had it up on the rotisserie. Every time I rolled it over, a dull thud
would come fron the center of the 'X' brace. I finally got around to
peering into the finger size opening at the front of the center section
of the brace. There was a rock in there! No, not a pebble size one that
had been kicked up from the road. This thing was 3-4 inches in diameter!
NO way it was a road rock! Looks like Jensen had some wiseguys on the
line that day. "Hey Nigel, let's drive some Yank nuts! Stick this stone
in and weld the plate over it! They'll never find where the rattle is
coming from!
I used my air chisel to bust it into smaller pieces and fished out the
remains
