[Tigers] B-Post chromed 'Cappings's

[Jay Laifman]

On than rubber bit on top of the A pillar, my very late SV that we bought when it was 9 years old with 60k miles did not have them.  The rest of the car, down to the tool kit was 100% stock with nothing missing.  But that is not proof of anything.  

On the other hand, my dad’s Tiger does have them.  

I bought new ones for my Alpine at one point.  I don’t know if it was CAT or VB.  Not SS.  

But the whole reason for my response is to point out that there was a big difference between what I bought versus what is on the Tiger.  The ones on the Tiger have a metal clip inside and the rubber surrounds the clip.  The ones I bought were a solid piece of hard rubber with a shallow slit in it.  The slit was way too shallow to even glue the part down.  I ended up not installing and figured I might get back to it some day.  Still hasn’t happened.
