[Tigers] Tiger at Russo and Steele auction.

[Steve Laifman]

Dave,

There are 2 "Dzus" fastener connector sets mounted on the left and right 
rear back edges of the Tiger trunk "floor".  These are 
aircraft-motorcycle type panel connectors that use a tool or coin to 
twist the large screw head to lock and unlock positions.

The one underneath the "floor" is mounted on a right angle support, and 
looks like an "S" shaped wire.  That support is fastened with two screws 
each to the rear trunk panel.

It is stock on a Tiger, but not used on Alpines.

Here is a link to "installation" instructions of a similar design, under 
"installation".

There is an article on TigersUnited.com that details Carpet Installation 
by Dave Johnson and Frank Marrone.  There are lots of good detail on 
this task, some pictures of my car (as taken by that  "#&%!" pigeon, and 
my trunk compartment.  The vinyl pebble grain folding top boot, backed 
side panel boards, and part of the spare tire / battery cover.  The 
rearward end of this (not visible) has the Dzus fasteners.
