Hello everybody,

   
I go to retrieve information for my Alpine and I know where to find the system of Bob Hokanson to the suspensions, wishbones, front axles ... all parts.

PS: Sorry for my english, I try to make efforts

Sounds like you want to know where Bob got the parts for his Tiger so you can get the same parts for your Alpine.  I can't help with the info, but if someone else can't help, maybe Curtis can put you in touch with Bob directly?

The front suspension on my Tiger was built by my son, Mike. The control arms are scratch built from special thick-wall tubing. Spindles,hubs and rack are Mustang II. For more info go to http://toyzjunkie.com and click on the New Tiger Suspension tab. You can contact him at hokey@oasisol.com

a last question, what is the model year of the mustang II?

When people talk about "Mustang II" suspensions, they're usually talking about a whole category of aftermarket parts (rather than parts that literally came from a donor car, junkyard, or Ford dealer.)

One place to see lots of "Mustang II" parts is the Speedway Motors catalog... here's are a couple links to their website:
Street Rod Mustang II Suspension (page 1)
Street Rod Mustang II Suspension (page 2)
Street Rod Mustang II Suspension (page 3)
1971 MGB GT V8
Buick 215 w/ Rover heads, custom EFI & crank-fired ignition.
Custom front and rear coilover suspensions.

Robbie, Same as Toyzjunkie. I like the older style A arms better. More info in this link:
