I have heard about an alternative crossmember option that has been developed by a local company. Fat Man Fabrications manufactures many aftermarket front ends for older cars and hot rods. I met them at the recent Charlotte Auto Fair, and they discussed what they have done. They have a custom IFS, using coil over springs and shocks. They use their own tubular welded steel control arms, with Mustang ll spindles and a special narrowed rack and pinion. They say it takes care of the Ackerman angle problem. Cost is said to be $3550 with 11.5" disc brakes. I have not seen it in person, but have tried to do an attachment.
This was developed for/with another Tiger owner, who will know much more about it, but I have not heard any other info about it. I don't want to steal anyone's thunder, perhaps they can chime in......
