The Tiger left manifold was for a Falcon, and wasn't used on the Mustangs. I believe the Falcon had the ?Tiger? type, so the exhaust pipe would clear the power steering ram. David Even the High Performance manifold went out the back.

All the numbers are the same as the MK I manifold so Rootes only updated their part number for the 289 engines. If there are any differences between the Mk I and MK II manifolds, we would need to see the MK II drawing - 1236160. If anyone has an original MK II manifold with different markings, please send a good picture. This has been an interesting venture into the origins of Tiger parts. All it takes is curiosity and a desire to dig deeper. We proceeded from BARCAST to DARCAST Foundry and the production of this exhaust manifold in the UK. There are still some unanswered questions regarding this part but the main story is clear now. Thanks to Bill Waite and all who contributed.

In this photo you can see my old blade on top and the new Trico 11" 33-111 on the bottom. The attachment bracket looks a little different but it snaps right on to my original wiper arms. I was never able to find any other blade where I could just pull out the rubber part and use that on my original blades. On the original blade I have the thin piece of metal that contains the rubber part is 10.6mm wide and .83mm thick. Everything I was able to look at at the parts stores was thicker and wider and would not fit into my original wiper blade frame. I'm happy to now have a pair of good, functional blades. Have Fun, Joe Brown ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ron Fraser Date: Tue, Jul 23, 2024 at 11:00?AM Subject: RE: [Tigers] Wiper Blades To: Joe Brown Joe Generally, the rubber wiper is held in a stainless steel slide that will pull out of the arm. I don?t know what to make of the LIFT pieces other than they lock the slide to the arm. I would not think the rubber wiper is bonded to the slide, it should come apart. The wiper usually has a ?T? profile the slide goes into. I don?t have original wiper blades or arms and I?m not sure I have any original wiper parts anywhere. Ron *From:* Joe Brown *Sent:* Tuesday, July 23, 2024 10:59 AM *To:* Ron Fraser *Subject:* Re: [Tigers] Wiper Blades Hi Ron, I don't think I can just slide out the rubber part. The rubber is bonded to a metal blade that slides into the rest of the wiper. And on each end there is a piece of metal that prevents it from sliding out. This piece of metal at each end has "lift" stamped on it which makes me think I should be able to slide out the metal/rubber piece, but I haven't figured it out yet. I looked at a bunch of wipers at the auto parts places but I didn't see any that looked like they would slide into what I have. [image: Wiper.jpg] [image: Wiper 2.jpg] I looked at the Trico blades in the link you sent me and I think I will order the "classic" version and see if they will fit my wiper arms. I'll let the list know what I find out. Thanks, Joe Brown On Mon, Jul 22, 2024 at 11:06?AM Ron Fraser wrote: Joe Do you only need to replace just the wiper blade? Buy a 22? wiper ? pull the rubber blade out ? cut in half ? pull the old blade out ? insert new blade.

The ones on my car were made by Anco and are about 11" long. They mount to the wiper arms with a snap in mount that doesn't seem to be used by anybody anymore. Here is a picture of what I have. I don't know if they are original to the car or not. [image: image.png] Thanks, Joe Brown -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
