[Tigers] Fuel Pump Access Door

[Kirk Smith]

Joe, my car has a cardboard ‘gasket’ that is at least a quarter inch wide and overlaps the cut out area on both the outside and the inside, covering any small gaps such as what you are experiencing.  The cardboard is stuck to the metal, so I wasn’t able to peel it back to see if that corner would be exposed without the gasket, but, just eye-balling it looks like it would be close.  I also have carpet and insulation (pad) glued down that makes absolute viewing difficult.  Kirk

Here are a couple of pictures of what I was trying to describe.  I added red arrows to the corner that is not covered by the access door.

My Tiger is a Mk1A, B382000217.  (And no, that is not the original fuel pump.  The original owner replaced it with a Carter pump and a Holley regulator)

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
