[Tigers] Shocks

Sounds like a good situation for an active Tiger club to think about taking on, maybe? But, the cap ex up front is pretty serious, probably better to do as a group buy, I guess. Anyone want to quantify the current demand? ;)

 Rick only had 2 front shocks at Sunbeam Specialties.  
 Classic Garage sent me this response:
 
 Sorry, we are out and have no plans to order a new production run. We need to order a minimum of 50 of each shock for Koni to make them. Unless a club or other organization wants to commit -  with deposits, to  more than half of the run, this is not happening. Used to be we received lots of queries and had deposits for a fair number before we ordered, even with that, it took nearly 5 years to sell 25 cars worth. You are only the second inquiry we have had since we ran out in 2020. Does not look like there is enough demand any longer. 
  Good luck, Ann customer service

 Hopefully someone will want to order more!

Rick has a slew of Koni’s for Tigers- when I bought mine last year he had dozens left- give him a call!

I can check with my friends at KONI, but I seem to remember that the guy at Classic Garage was the only vendor ordering the Tiger part numbers. I guess just call him and see if they are having more made.

Looks like they are both "Out of Stock".  
 Darn it  :-(

Does anyone have the part numbers for Koni's?  Front and back?  I contacted Vivid Racing and they just sent me pages and pages to pick from.
 Would appreciate any help.
 Thanks,
 Craig

OK, might as well add my 2-cents worth.  I put Konis on my Tiger in about '68.  They're still working great after about 55 years.

Yup, Konis. Just replaced my old KYB gas shocks- what a difference!
