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

                I don’t know if all Tigers have that clamp.  There seems to be 2 versions here.

Parts List Pub #6601334

9166032                Flexible Pipe – Servo to manifold               up to B382001282

9166034                Flexible Pipe – Servo to manifold               Mk I & II from B382001283

9179049                Clip – Vacuum pipe to bulkhead strut

9179025                Clip – Vacuum pipe to bulkhead strut

This seems to indicate all Tigers have this clip but I don’t know for sure and I don’t know the differences between these parts.

I do know my Tiger has that clip.

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.
