[Tigers] KUDOS

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Not sure if I am on topic here or not, but there is a counter set screw/screws in the seat frame that I am told are "Wentworth" (sp?). I have been told that the seat frames were made by a company whose main line of business was making seats for the British Aircraft industry, when there was one going back in the 60's Wentworth was supposedly the standard used in the British Aircraft industry back then. Anyone remember the Comet airliner? I believe SS sells the screws, look under "upholstery" for special screws. Hope that is relevant!

I try to help when I can and that's good enough for me. There will 
always be things about our cars we don't truly know or understand; sometimes 
all it takes is the desire to look, understand and comprehend. 
OK, that was a veiled promotion of my Original Tiger Engine Study. 
I'm still looking the Ford parts configuration on many of the engine groups. 
Contact me off list for the information I'm studying. 

Also on that 5/16 - 24 screw - I put my SAE thread gage on it and 
the 24 is close but not quite right. It maybe the difference between 
British thread spec and the SAE thread spec. Since you will probably be 
making parts to work that really doesn't matter in this case.

Ron: 

Now that I have had another look at your email in the cold, hard light of 
day, I just have to comment on how lucky we are as a member of the Tiger 
community to have guys like you, who have these incredible resources at your 
"finger tips" and are willing to take the time to dig these obscure parts 
out and take photos of them, measure them with great accuracy, and send them 
to us needy Tiger folk, along with informed comment and opinion, to keep us 
on the right track to properly restoring our cars. (sorry for the long 
sentence, but I had to get it all out!) 

I for one am <x-apple-data-detectors://0> supremely grateful, and hope 
someday to discover some truth about our cars that you and you fellow 
"guru's' don"t know 
(unlikely!) so I can repay you in some tangible way. 

Many many thanks Ron, 

Dave

Isn't the English language wonderful and so hard to understand sometimes. 

Now that we are on the same page; here are 2 Pic of the fasteners. 

The button head screw = 5/16 <x-apple-data-detectors://0> x 24 - 1/2" long 

The barrels - 5/16 <x-apple-data-detectors://2> x 24 OD = .5" 3/8" 
long 

Pivot screw - Total length = 1.06" Threads - OD = .485" looks close to 
16 thread per inch 1/2 BSF ?? 
Countersunk screw - .12" shoulder down to threads OD of .41" Threads are 
.27" long countersink thickness = .155" Pin section - OD = .31" length = 
.513
