B9470101 does NOT have the original engine (presently 5 bolt 289). The
bracket IS the original Tiger design.
I encourage others to participate in Ron's engine data gathering
endeavors. That said, actually seeing the bracket is difficult. My Tiger
is (has been) on jackstands. I attempted to use my phone to take an
image. Unfortunately the confines are tight and it wants to focus on the
clutch fork. The best (my opinion) identifier being the radius of the
upper "vee" webbing is obscured by the slave cylinder and adjustment
rod. However, when I took a light under the car a second identifier of
the curved over "vee" rails were quite obvious as it can be seen before
the slave cylinder gets in the way. Score one for the naked eye over
modern technology in this case. I could not definitively discern this
even when zooming in on the phone image.
