[Tigers] hood scoop

[Terry Lawell]

Thanks for the inputs. My goal was more for aesthetics than performance. 
My original Mk1 Tiger, which I had in France in 1965, had a functional 
air scoop sealed to the carb (see attachment). But my Mk1a is completely 
stock and I would like to add the air scoop just for looks.

Cheers, Terry
