Several  years ago, I had a long chat about putting a Mustang II front 
suspension  in a Tiger with Brent, the owner of Fat Man Fabrications which 
is 
one of  the largest companies specializing in Mustang II front ends. They 
have  dozens of kits for many applications. (see  
http://www.fatmanfab.com/index.htm )

Brent is a mechanical engineer  and really understands the Mustang II 
suspension. In the small world  department, Brent owned a sports car repair 
business prior to founding Fat  Man. He worked on Tigers and Alpines. He's 
not a stranger to  Sunbeam.

Twice he's tried to put the Mustang II front suspension into  different 
Tigers and twice he failed. He's come to the conclusion that it  can't be 
done properly.

Then a little over a year ago Dale A. tried  the same task and he came up 
with the same conclusion that Brent had: It  can't be done properly in a 
Tiger. This lead Dale to start with a clean  sheet of paper which lead to 
his 
new suspension that Rob G wrote about a  week or so ago.
