[Tigers] FW: Tiger rear end

[Wayne Pierzga]

Clearly, the answer to the question regarding the color of the pumpkin on the Tiger rear end is that it is painted Chassis Black on all cars EXCEPT pumpkins picked on 31 Oct, which were left in their naturally ripe Glyptal burnt orange color.

Jeez guys get with the program!

Cheers
Wayne

I've also heard that keeping the pumpkin in just the Glyptal primer (as pictured and typically done during restorations) isn't actually correct and that the diffs/rear end were painted all black. It may have depended on what day the car was assembled...Fridays and Mondays half painted, mid-week all painted, who knows? lol. But, again, most common is the exposed primer on the pumpkin in restored cars.

Ron,



The pumpkins were first dipped in that orangish-red glyptal however they were they painted black on the outside.

                The correct red color according to TBON is Glyptal.

The rest of the paint scheme looks correct – chassis black.

I have a 1966 MK!A am wondering what correct the rear axel scheme should be.  All semi gloss black or the pumpkin painted a redish or orange per below.

 If the redish or orange color is correct, does anyone have a rattle can paint code number and brand which would be correct.
