[Tigers] Mystery Part

[Jay Laifman]

Ever watch the Prisoner?  He drives his Lotus 7 at the beginning of every
episode.  Then in one particular episode, he gets his car back and he
confirms it is his car because, as he said, "that is my car, I know every
nut and bolt on it."

I haven't done that on my Tiger.  But I did that on two Alpines - every
piece, stripped down to just the body shell, and put back together.
Neither Alpine had that part.

That part doesn't look particularly strong.  So I don't see why a Tiger
would have something like that, but an Alpine would not.  Happy to be shown
wrong.
