I've gone for an Escort express LM23497 Master Cylinder 20mm bore with 3 outlets . The brake pedal travel is too much so will start with a new MC first , all other bits are ok .  or  graham |

Didn't realise you were having problems with your brakes. Mine is just the old sierra one from my donor. On sierra it was servo assisted but I seperated that off and all works well....so far
Hope they are all sorted for derby

I'm ok with them for now , it might be the rear shoe adj is not tight enough . When I changed the shoes/drums I had the shoes as tight as I could and still get the drum on but I have a long pull up on the hand brake didn't have that before .
Will see on sunday If I can get it better .
Looking forward to derby its a good run out nice and quick in some places and its on my satnav so we won't get lost .

Ok got my M cyl all bolted in and connected up. Had to make a new push rod for it . The holes where in a different position so when it went in 1st time I thought all was ok , then tried the bonnet on , OH SH*T it won't go on , bug*er . Had to drop it down today so all ok now , phew . Just a shakedown test this week to see if its all ok . I LOVE doing jobs on my Tiger    Graham |

Not me, not a seasoned enough Tiger owner to survive that journey in October :-)

Pete...see my other message. You and Chris welcome to call at mine first. Happy to take you both in mine. Why waste fuel?
If we were all going in kits, it's an event...but why just use fuel in tintops?
