On the exact correct part I think you might find the first one for the
tiger is unique by detail.

I bought a repro ford stamped one and noted the angle of the mounting tabs
foot on the original is slightly different to allow it to mount better on
the scuttle brace turret. Very small detail difference, the NPD part works
fine and looks on the button but might be very slightly different.

Thanks, guys.  Ron was right, its still in the SS on line catalog, and I
was getting an order together for Rick tonight week, anyway.  Don't know
how I missed it when I was looking yesterday.

I talked to Rick at SS last night.  The Ballast resistor is in his catalog
but he no longer carries it.  So I ordered the NPD T-Bird part.

Also, he no longer carries the steel braid oil gauge line, citing a bad
experience with one that leaked, an apparent workmanship issue.  Didn't CAT
have one?  Same part?  Same problem?
