[Tigers] FW: Re: air cleaner stud

Jim

                Thank you for the picture.

The washer appears to have an OD of ¾”.

Is that correct?

 

Do you know for sure that is the original washer?

 

I ask because the Parts List indicates that washer is ½” OD.

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.

I don’t know.  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.

Anyone have pictures of these original stock parts?

 

1224657                Stud – air cleaner

9550040                Nut – ¼” UNC

9067015                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.

 

Thanks

To all – stay well, stay safe
