[Tigers] Standard vs. GT Interior

[Rollright at aol.com]

Hello,
 
I want to admit making a very expensive mistake, and in doing so, help  
others avoid this thoughtless error. My intention was to re-chrome the  
chrome-plated pot-metal 'finishers' just below the non-opening vent window  on the 
doors. To this end, I found two vent window assemblies on E-Bay and  
dis-assembled them, stripping off the "finishers". Off to the platters they  went. 
Tiger was still in storage. Got the Tiger back from winter  storage last 
week-end.
    I had Good Friday off from work, and started the  re-assembly of the 
freshly plated "finishers" on my vent windows.  Surprise, Surprise. The 
"finishers" I had plated were too short, top to bottom,  and shaped slightly 
differently.
    Went to the parts list and what I had plated were  the "Standard" 
"Finisher" part numbers 
 2217291 and 2217192.  Our Tigers have the "GT" interior  with "Finisher" 
part numbers 2217196 & 2217197.
    The best laid plans....
    All that for nothing.  Make sure with interior  parts you don't make a 
similar error.
    Anybody have an Alpine that has grotty  "finishers"? I have two 
beautifully chromed ones surplus to my  requirements....
 
    Duh!
