[Tigers] Tigers Digest, Vol 7, Issue 245

[Joel Martin]

Sorry to bring this up but I am having problem with spare tire size, still.
My understanding is the 66 Tiger Mk 1A came with a Dunlop RS-5 tire but not sure of the current day size.  I believe it to be a 165/78/13 but not sure.  Anyone know for sure?

What I can find out there are some no name manufactures selling 165/70/13.
The only 80 aspect ration I can find are Kumho Solus TA11 in 155/80/13.
The spare will be just to get me to a station as the car tires will be 205/50/15 probably YokohamaS.drive (Ultra High Performance Summer tires.  Anyone with experience on these?

Thoughts on whether the 155/80/13 or the 165/70/13 would be best to fit the trunk with no rubbing or hitting the trunk wood cover?
RegardsJoel Martin

Please provide a picture of what the correct side driver's mirror should be for a 1966 MK 1A.  I see Talbot JR and SR as a LAT option but cannot find any other mirrors listed.  The 2 holes in drivers door are 3.5" spacing.  Pictures and description are wonderful if you have them.
ThanksJoel MartinWhat is the largest wheel and tire that will fit in the trunk of the 1966 MK 1A.  By my measurements, 24" is about it.  Is this the 13" rim with about a 165 X 13" or can we go bigger?

Joel MartinJoel,
Without going to the body parts illustration,  there's a channel running across the top of the boot covered by the vinyl top "cover" so I can't really see it. Anyhow the balance hose ran through that channel on my Mark 2, but I can't say for certain that was the original location; I bought the car in 1976. I don't recall the hose being secured.

We are trying to determine the correct routing and securing of the gas tank vent hose that runs from the gas cap and passenger side of the trunk area to the drivers side gas tank.  What is the correct routing and are there any clamps that hold this line in place?  Please see attached picture and provide one of yours that would be correct.
Thanks in advance.
Joel Martin

That is about right, I have an old165x13.   The usual problem is heightthough.   Mine is about as tall or maybe too tall to fasten the "floor"down.

My spare is a 165/13 on a stock rim and I dont think much more would fit in my 1a's trunk, heightwise. StuOn Aug 4, 2015 1:41 PM, "Joel Martin via Tigers" <tigers at autox.team.net> wrote:
