The Mk II part number changed to 1236160. I think this is just an =
updated number but it needs to be explored.
=20
Anyone have a picture of the Mk II Rt exhaust manifold?

Same exact logo. It was DARCAST, no question.

In earlier emails on the above subject, Ron Fraser has stated "Norm =
Miller states BARCAST" and "Another believes it is DARCAST =E2=80=93 =
this is a UK Foundry that cast many exhaust manifold for British cars."=20
=20
The "another" person Ron Fraser is referring to is me, Bill Waite (Tiger =
/ Alpine owner since 1978). I have uncovered additional information =
today which confirms (100% in my opinion) that the logo on the Tiger's =
RT Exhaust Manifold is DARCAST.
=20
Ron said "We are looking for photo proof or written proof to seal this =
case." Hopefully the following information will include enough proof.
=20
1. Ends up that from 1915 through 1980 there was a company named =
"Dartmouth Auto Castings" located in Smethwick (UK). In later years =
that company operated three (3) separate foundries. It ends up that =
Darcast was not the name of any foundry. Rather Dartmouth Auto Castings =
used the DART in Dartmouth and the CAST in Castings to create its logo: =
DarCast.
2. An October 1951 print advertisement (attached to this message) =
clearly shows the Darcast logo. Also attached is another print ad from =
1965. That ad lists the type of castings they produced.
=20
3. On the unique Tiger manifold, there is a number "DA21120." I looked =
at some of the other exhaust manifolds the company produced, and they =
also have unique identifiers starting with "DA." I submit: "DA" was =
likely used as the prefix of "Dartmouth Auto" part numbers.
=20
4. Separately, to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever posted a =
photograph of the RT side exhaust manifold with "Barcast" in the logo.
=20
I intend to add the above information to the thread I started on the =
C.A.T. Forum. The link to that thread follows: =

side-exhaust-header.8891/
