I've seen those. I also remember seeing a member here modeling the stock piece accurately like the early one as well.

If you can wait until Hogmanay has finished - ie Friday. I “may” have the part you are looking for. If you have not heard from me by Saturday I’m probably still drunk somewhere.
PS I forgot to say hello, and welcome from Argyll and Bute, in the introduction section. Probably because you mentioned the T word.

Thanks for all of that very detailed info MrChef,and also the kind offer of those air cleaner parts. Funny thing is that the 'job lot' of the used Tiger that I bought actually had two sets of the cans themselves !. I don 't have the hoses themselves or the clamps, but I'm still tempted to just go for Jarndice suggestion.
I remember seeing the Tiger 1 at Bovington back in 1988, when the exhibits were much more tightly packed together than the posh building today. Here's a couple of photo I took back then, showing 131 in her original Museum Camo.

Thanks for the offer, much appreciated.
Is there any Tiger bits you're short of ? My mixed bag purchase contained a great deal of surplus Tiger 1 items.
(Or anyone else reading this).

Good morning OldTanker. As promised I ventured forth to the loft, to look for the part you required. Unfortunately, I appear not to have one where I thought it might be. It is not to say it isn’t somewhere in one of the boxes of scrap models, and parts, or it may have been repurposed.
