[Tigers] One last dash question and then I'll go back to sleep...

Ron,
Curious, in your picture showing the striped hose going from the  intake to 
the brake booster it is clamped down on the firewall-to-fender  brace.  On 
some cars I've seen that clamp and some don't seem to have it. I  will have 
to go through the pics of my own car to see if it was ever there, but  I 
don't remember seeing a hole for the screw that would hold the clamp. Do you  
know if the clamp was standard on all versions of the Tiger?

I feel your pain about electrical things, I’m the same way, not a  sparky. 
Seems  to me the Shop Manual is fairly clear about the hook up. 
Voltage  regulator has a B  post for 12v, I  post for the instruments and 
case  ground. 
LGG  wire goes from I  post to, from the back side, the right side 
instrument post on both  gages 
GU  wire on the left side of the gage goes to temp sender 
GB  wire goes to fuel level sender 
Hope  the pictures help with the heater hoses, also see Shop Manual Section 
R, pg.  3, Fig 2.  Finding the 2 “T” parts helps  considerably.

Ok, when one looks at the, ahem, wiring diagram, contained  in the shop 
manual or the one on Tigers United, when it becomes rapidly  evident that the 
places where the wires actually fasten to the instruments is  not there. CAT 
has a dash wiring diagram which does show the locations they  are mostly 
evident. But when the temperature gauge and fuel gauges get  involved with the 
voltage stabilizer things get different.  I have tried  all the combinations 
that two wires on two instruments can be connected, four  total I think, 
but still nothing works. Again, I have a farkle, I think, in  the voltage 
stabilizer, but to eliminate the wiring as culprit to anything,  which wire goes 
where?  The CAT diagram shows the LGG wires from the  Voltage stabilizer 
connecting to one post on the temp meter and the opposite  post on the fuel 
meter.    
So how about one of you smart folk telling me that if you  are looking at 
the back side of the fuel meter, which post/lug does the LGG  colored wire go 
onto  and same for the temp meter.   I can  figure out where the other wire 
goes since there will only be one  choice.   Then I can put those into 
place so that I can get on with  life waiting and trying to decide which 
replacement VS to purchase.   Heeellllpppp! 
Next question. Will someone who has an unmolested vehicle  with all the 
water plumbing as OEM take a photo and send it along to me?   I want to 
reestablish the full heater and carb heating system that I removed  eons ago and 
forgot. I did find my two unobtainium T’s and I  have my OEM  temp sensor to 
reinstall, so all I need is hose routing. Not looking to make a  points car 
shows or anything just need it to be reasonably functional.  Again any help 
out there?  
And now for some status… My car is a MK1 series and so it  has the metal 
soft top hide system.  And before I thought to much about  it, I installed 
seat belts with a shoulder strap included, using the fender  seat beat 
attachment points. Ok, well and good, but then the metal center  section would not 
go far enough down to permit the soft top t\o fold away. So  today I 
corrected all that. I now have fully functional lap/shoulder seat  belts for driver 
and passenger AND the metal hide away parts are fully  functional now. P 
side center panel latch needs to be adjusted but an easy  \task. At may steady 
pace of 5 steps backwards for every 5.1 steps forward it  shouldn’t take 
more than a month, lol.  As so as it is adjusted I will  install the new soft 
top.  
A photo attached… a teaser… but nothing magic about the  car. Race car is 
hidden away under a pile of blankets and covers.
