There are only a few ways to tell the difference between an Original Tiger Engine and a Standard Ford Engine. Unfortunately, the Ford ID tags that identify a Tiger engine can be removed and tossed. There have been around 45 requests for the ONLINE Tiger Engine Survey with 13 responses. The more responses the better the data base becomes. Tiger Engine Study - TigersEast AlpinesEast (teae.org) Not long ago a Tiger owner contacted me about a spare 260 engine he was about to sell. Turns out that spare engine was most likely the original Tiger Engine. This is one of the purposes of the Tiger Engine Study. With enough engine details I should be able to tell if that Mk II engine is an Original Tiger Engine.

Sticky paint on the needle can cause the needle to stick to the stop. I currently have placed a short length of teflon tubing (got it by stripping a length of teflon-insulated wire) on the stop. Works great. In an earlier life i scraped the paint off the side of the needle and that worked too. Went to teflon after repainting the needle.

As I said before, as I was coming to a stop, with my foot on the brake, at the last second before coming to a complete stop, it seemed the brakes bit a little harder - like I pushed the brakes a tiny bit, even though I didn?t at all. My initial assumption was that there was a bubble in the rubber hose, increasing pressure. But I discounted that since it stopped immediately when I lifted the pedal. When I have heard about this before, I recall that the bubble kept the pressure up even after the pedal was released. But every situation is different. This other incident was also at very low speed, just after I lifted the brakes and was coasting forward, I got a feeling like I was taping on the brakes repeatedly and the wheel was chirping. It was very strange. I don?t know the details to give more help on that.

Check and examine every part and every aspect of the brake system - assume nothing. I would not think the SS hoses are the problem but again assume nothing. Right now my thought is that you need to rebuild the Master brake cylinder and or the brake booster too. You stated that the car stops when you release the pedal - that sounds like the Master Cylinder piston is moving back too slowly and not releasing the brake pressure. I once had something similar to this - the spring in the Master was half worn on one side so the spring force and force angle was wrong.

There was another incident that was a bit different, and now that I think of it, points more to the hoses. As I said before, as I was coming to a stop, with my foot on the brake, at the last second before coming to a complete stop, it seemed the brakes bit a little harder - like I pushed the brakes a tiny bit, even though I didn?t at all. My initial assumption was that there was a bubble in the rubber hose, increasing pressure. But I discounted that since it stopped immediately when I lifted the pedal. When I have heard about this before, I recall that the bubble kept the pressure up even after the pedal was released. But every situation is different. This other incident was also at very low speed, just after I lifted the brakes and was coasting forward, I got a feeling like I was taping on the brakes repeatedly and the wheel was chirping. It was very strange. I don?t know the details to give more help on that.

If I recall these use a 'plastic' tube to carry the brake fluid. I don?t think these tubes delaminate/collapse like OEM rubber as they deteriorate. So, I have another suggestion you may want to investigate. Is there an in-line vacuum check-valve between the carb and brake booster? If so this may be sticking and could be the source of the intermittent problems you describe.

Years ago I still had my original "yellow stripe" vacuum hose on my servo. Back behind the air cleaner where you couldn't see it, it had become "soft". When it got hot it sucked in and closed off the vacuum to the servo until it cooled slightly. Boost was intermittent.
