Locost with tiger rear end
ceebmoj - 17/2/03 at 10:50 AM

Hi I am planning to build the front end of a locost and graft it to the rear end of a tiger so I can use the independent suspension set up from the tiger. I have the book about building the locost and have also found many good web sites, with much better drawings and measurements for the low cost. However I am not having as much luck finding information about the tiger I was hoping some one could help me out and suggest some good web sites that contain drawings and measurements for this sort of project or just of the tiger rear end.

thanks

Have you bought the Tiger build book? It's only £17 or something and Amazon.co.uk have it so I'd have thought that was the place to start.

Seconded, also, once you've got it, grab the "sample pages" from tigers website, the last few pages contain corrections to the somewhat, how shall I put this, "poetic" dimensions. Also, the pictures don't completely correspond to the drawings, drawing are apparently of a later design with rear roll bar struts.

I cant seem to find the “sample page” you mention the reason I do not real want to buy the book is I get the option it is a bout as much use as a chocklet tea pot from others hear witch Is why I am asking is some one couple e-mail me a sketch / drawing with a couple of measurements on

Thanks for your help

Hi,
I have just bought the tiger book and would like to find the errata you mentioned but can't seem to locate it. Could someone send me a copy of it or point me in the right direction.

Cheers,
Craig.
