I earlier today said my OEM steel wheels, which came with the car I have owned since Jan 1967, are not what I though they were. I got all of the wheels down from the storage area in my shop today and oh dang. The insides are all painted black! From the factory. The car is a Mk I that the records say was manufactured in I thinit was Sept 0r 1964 or there abouts. The last for numbers of the vin are 1136 so that should identify the actual time and day. I found in my pile a brand new 4 core copper core I bought from CAT in the late 60’s. And an unwrapped CAT roll bar, never installed. A pair of still in oil paper wrap, front brake rotors. 2 sets of used upper and lower A arms. I have my front hub caps and beauty rings as well. The OEM anti roll bar and one of those rear bolt in ones as well. I stock piled a lot of stuff because one day in the fairly near future I will cease. And maybe before that sell my Tiger with lots of stuff. I mean lots of stuff, lol. Not for sale yet as I want to add a throttle body EFI system in replacement of a card. I need to find another F4b or Eboc victor manifold and then get a Holley efi set up as a carb. I also have a low gear applicable Positrac which I used with a ring and pinon set up: 4.55:1 gears. Lemme ell ya,, this is only good for drag racing, street light to street light racing or auto cross. I tried driving it that way to and from work but a screaming 289 finally convinced me that this was not the thing to do, lol. It is currently available for trade for a positrac for the high gear ratio gear sets from 3.54:1 to 2.88 :1. I have the gears s, will swap the gears and limited slip for a 2.88 rear gear compatible posi limited slip. I have a complete rear end that is dying to get back into the car it came with. Currently has a 3.54:1 with posi in a second rear end, which I will keep with car when it comes up for sale. . <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In any case<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> The inside of my Mk I wheels are black….
