Here is a picture of the wood piece mounted to the body in my Tiger for the=
 battery - I don't know for sure if it is original.

10.75" L x 1.5" W x .400" thick

The plywood piece below the battery is not original.
I have 2 pieces of plywood under the battery tray making it near level.

I see good responses and pictures to Jim's questions.=C2=A0 I learned many =
new things with this thread; thanks to all for responding.

Jim and I responded privately about the oil filter hoses so I'm posting pic=
tures of what I believe is an original oil filter hose from my Tiger.=C2=A0=
 The hose fitting and the ink stamp.=C2=A0 The ink stamp is mostly off whit=
e in color with touches of red or pink.

I thought there was someone on this List who was making correct oil filter =
hoses or am I wrong again.

Also when I was using the oil filter original parts - I painted the engine =
block adaptor black - this adaptor is cast steel or iron so I painted it.=
=C2=A0 Is black the correct original color?

More questions:

Somewhere, I believe I saw an article about the Battery Wood Spacer - somew=
here is the big question.=C2=A0 It would be very nice to know these answers=
, these parts are not listed in the Parts List as far as I know.=C2=A0 =C2=
=A0 Pictures, dimensions, type of wood
There is also the Battery Manifold Breather Tube c/w 6 plugs.

Fastener descriptions can mostly be looked up in the=C2=A0 Alpine Parts Lis=
t, Section ZY, you need all the Alpine Parts List issues for complete cover=
age.
Generally, there is a good description of fasteners in the Tiger Parts List=
s with each part.

Hi All
Just back from SUNI=E2=80=A6great event and an awesome turnout despite COVI=
D concerns. Kudos to Claudia and Buck Trippel for organizing an excellent e=
vent.

At the concours, my car got 2nd place in the Stock Tiger class. I am starti=
ng to gather info to correct the minor items that in total dragged me down.=
 Looking for some photos of the following ORIGINAL/CORRECT items.

Headlight Ground: Not sure what exactly was wrong but the comment says Inco=
rrect headlight ground. I could really use a photo of an original headlight=
 ground that shows the location and a closer shot of the actual connection.

Trunk Lid Buffers: Again, not exactly sure what I got wrong. The comment sa=
ys no slot for buffers? It is in the same comment saying my trunk seal was =
upside down (I knew that=E2=80=A6 thought I could sneak by, but the judges =
were really sharp.). Are there slots in the trunk seal where the buffers ma=
ke contact? If so, photos please. Also Photos of your buffers to include fa=
steners.

Battery Wood Spacer: I always thought mine was original, but the judges did=
 not think so. A photo of an original spacer in the correct position would =
really help. Dimensions also a help.

I would also appreciate some photos of the fasteners that affix the trunk h=
inges to the body and the trunk lid. Again, I am looking for original faste=
ners/configuration/finish.I did not lose any points, but I heard the judges=
 talking about these items.

Also got dinged for my oil filter assembly being dirty generally worn and b=
eat up. Book of Norman does not specify color of fittings and pipe. Any gui=
dance is appreciated.
I had a few other items incorrect that I knew about and decided to live wit=
h, but in the end the total deductions did me in.

Thanks
Jim
