[Tigers] inside door parts questions

[Jay Laifman]

I've had the same problem with getting that pin out.  I recall having to
damage the lip once to get an awl in there to push out the pin.

I've never seen that rubber piece either.  I'll have to check to see if the
Tiger has them.  No Alpine I've had did (I've had 3 of them).  But I was
certainly not the original owner on any of them - though one of them was
very unmolested, and somewhat low mileage when I got it in 1977.  But it
was a very very late SV (like one of the last 150), and various money
saving things were done on the cars by then.

I will say as an aside, I recall the pot metal on those door handles
breaking.  I got a stainless steel pair from CAT probably around 1979.
Still going strong.  Thank you to whomever made those!

Jay
