Hello all,<br>
I bought my Tiger in 1976, and the guy that I bought it from had executed a<br>
new exterior paint job that was really nice (it covered over the rust quite<br>
well!). To hide the surface rust in the trunk, he coated it with some tarry<br>
substance that has NEVER set up; still stickyish. Time to fix this mess.<br>
Several years ago, in Auto Restorer magazine there was an article about a<br>
guy in Colorado that had a Dry Ice Blasting system in the back of his open<br>
bed truck. He could drive to jobs and do the deed. There is a local company<br>
in Salem MA called ServPro (franchise) that quoted me between $ 2200 - $<br>
2400 to dry ice blast the trunk floor of my Tiger. I choked. They said<br>
they'd have to rent a machine, get the dry ice pellets, etc and then do the<br>
deed.<br>
Does anybody know of a company in New England or Eastern Upstate NY that has<br>
a machine and could do it for less that $ 1,000 ?<br>

Hi guys,<br>
If you are offended by reading an email about non-Tiger, please stop hereand<br>
delete.? I am just reaching out to the broader English car world tohelp us<br>
find a missing part.<br>
We purchased a 1962 Elva Mk6 sportsracer, and we're in the process<br>
ofrestoring it.? There were only 28 of these made.? When new, the ones set<br>
upfor FIA racing had a windshield wiper.? None of the current cars still<br>
havethe wiper.? Our car was set up for FIA racing and in fact did FIA<br>
racing.So we want to get that wiper again.? It is super short - not just the<br>
bladebut the arm too.<br>
Attached is a picture of our car in period.? It's about the best picture<br>
ofany of the cars showing the wiper.? Anyone have any thoughts?? I've<br>
lookedat every MG, Triumph, Morris, Jaguar, etc., that I can find.? And gone<br>
toall the suppliers and looked at their catalogs.? Nothing jumps out as<br>
smallenough.? It is possible that they got one of the stock ones, and just<br>
cutit down.? Someone just said that ironically one of the smallest arms<br>
he'dseen was on a big Healey.? Note too that ours was not the only one that<br>

Sorry, I cannot get any attachments from the list, they are always<br>
?scrubbed?. But, just for fun, I did a search for ?snowmobile wipers? and<br>
the results show some very short ones both arms and blades. No idea why I<br>
did that, no snowmobiles around here. Good luck!<br>
