[Tigers] Hood release

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Thanks for the replies.  The theory that 1A's never came with  a rod seems 
to be incorrect.  The parts book says the change occurred after  #1826 and 
owners with cars are high as 1570 are saying theirs came with a  rod.  I was 
pretty sure that my #1369 had an original rod.  Thanks for  those that 
responded. Now I can get a good night's sleep :-))

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?
