[Tigers] FW: Re: air cleaner stud

[jimdamelio]

Should have sent this to the list, but didn't reply all.As far as I know these are original from my MKIA.  I bought the car in 1977.  The nut on the stud are one piece. Sure the stud is original. But not sure if the air cleaner nut and washer are.Jim DSent from my Galaxy

But I do know that when I first got the Tiger, with stock air cleaner, but Holley carb, I overtightened the air cleaner nut.  This caused the top to bow, and hit air intake tubes in the carbs.  The car ran, but not well.  It took a while, but I was sure glad when I solved that one.  I don’t know if the stock carb doesn’t have this problem, or if the modified parts prevent this from happening.  But, I thought I’d mention it in case it helps make sure the fit is right.On Jan 21, 2021, at 11:48 AM, Ron Fraser <rfraser at bluefrog.com> wrote:Anyone have pictures of these original stock parts? 1224657                Stud – air cleaner9550040                Nut – ¼” UNC9067015                Washer, ¼” plain              ¼” x ½” OD          16-gauge steel Also looking for the length of the stud.The stud I have is 3.78” long. I originally thought the stud was a modified Ford part but looking at the stud it looks formed to this length not cut.There is no Ford part # associated with the air cleaner stud part only the Rootes # - made me curious.
