>> Thanks all. For now remains a mystery part. We bagged and tagged most parts when we took the car apart and then lost some tagging when it went to the paint booth as this part was painted body color. Must have seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

>> Now bagged on parts shelf as 'mystery part' non essential. Too much time on our hands as I am reviewing Sunbeam parts not on car.

>> This reminds me of when I bought my Tiger. This uncompleted restoration was sort of a kit. It mostly ran, but there were lots of parts still in boxes. The problem was that the previous owner had also rebuilt an International Scout, and there were parts from that mixed in the boxes too.  Unfortunately, this was back in the days before Al Gore invented the internet, but I  bumped into another owner of a very complete tiger (Wally Swift) and took lots of pictures, which helped sort things out.
