The rest of the car, down to the tool kit was 100% stock with nothing missing. But that is not proof of anything. </div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, my dad’s Tiger does have them. </div><div><br></div><div>I bought new ones for my Alpine at one point. I don’t know if it was CAT or VB. Not SS. </div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br>On Dec 28, 2017, at 5:12 PM, michael king via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Jim,<div><br></div><div>The narrow B post cap came in on the Series V Alpine, MKIA Tiger..
