[Tigers] Hood release

[Stu Brennan]

My Mk1A, assembled sometime in the late summer of '66, has a rod release... 
because I installed it.

I'd heard the horror stories about breaking cables, so at a United parts 
swap I saw a rod type release just laying there on a table, waiting for me. 
A few bucks later, I found it bolted right in, no mods required.  So maybe 
somebody else did the same thing, and that's where it came from.

Okay, a question/survey.............some cars came with a cable to  release
the hood and others with a rod.  I have heard that the MK1's came  with a
rod and everything after came with a cable.
When I got my MK1A over 20 yrs. ago it came with a rod.  It's  hard to
believe that the cable had been switched for a rod because just about 
nothing
on the car had been changed.  It was as original as you could  find.  On 
Ebay
there is a rod for sale that is claimed to come from a  MK1A.....   Item
#251292299850  .
So, the question is, did anyone else have an original MK 1A   or MK11 that
came with a rod rather than a cable?
