[Tigers] Tiger hood release handle

[Andy Walker]

Thanks for that bit of info, Rande.  I've always wondered if my car should
have the cable or not, but I'm glad to see that it should have the rod
instead (B382001600).  The rod is what's on there now but I always thought
that it had probably been changed out at some point.

Thanks again,
Andy Walker

This might sound unrelated, but there was a discussion at least two years
ago about the merits of the early and late design (early was the steel rod
type and late was the cable. The rod type was used on Tigers up until VIN
B382001825, and the cable type began at B382001826 and went through until
the very last Tiger MK II.

The consensus at the time was that the rod type (early design) was the
longest lasting. If my car is typical, the rod type has an unlabeled handle,
and the later cable type is labeled 'Bonnet' on the handle.
