[Tigers] MK1a Originality question

Allan
	The stock MK IA engine for your Tiger was painted black.  To me it
would look funny to have a black housing mounted on an aluminum intake.
TBON shows an aluminum intake with a thermostat housing that looks like
natural color.

	I think a color similar to the aluminum intake color is the way to
go.  You could wire brush the housing then apply a clear or matte paint to
protect it.   There are other products that give a natural color too.

	This is really a case of what looks right to you; the aluminum paint
or natural.  Pick one and go with it.

I have a very early MK1a :   ......000090.

When using a LAT1 aluminum F4B Intake, is the thermostat housing supposed to
be painted aluminum color?

Thanks in advance,

Allan Ballard
