I'm in Boston if any one is interested. Thanks

I decided on the Avon chassis too but I've used sierra uprights no changes to the chassis just moved the brackets.
Welcome to the tiger Avon world 
Thanks

There is a guy at Threeholes the other side of Wisbech that has allways got a set of tina uprights on the shelf.
I dont like your chance of a swap though.
edit
There is also a guy at Sutterton that has sierras and cortinas. The price isnt the cheapest and he doesnt like kitcars. The weeds are also 4ft tall
lol but its another option.

Hi David, thanks. I went to stoneleigh yesterday with the intention of getting some ideas from all the Haynes but only saw one. Which compared to all
the other makes there was very poor. After walking round and going over to the tiger stand I couldn't believe the price of the chassis. I spoke
with jim and was hooked. I feel iv made such a good decission and with them only in Wisbech it's only 28 miles from me. I didn't realise
you could use the Sierra uprights. Do you need to use mushroom adapters? Like the Haynes?

Yes you need the mushrooms and some playing with the top wishbone but nothing serious. :-)
Tiger are great and the chassis's are cheap. Just ensure you use rose joint wishbones to ensure everything lines up. The normal wishbones can be
problematic to sort camber and tracking.
Good luck with the build.
I've built some jigs for the sierra uprights which you can borrow if you want to build your own wishbones.
Sierra uprights are cheaper and you can get much cheaper discs n pads.
Good luck.
Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Laptoprob is a fountain of tiger knowledge too
Cheers
