Fiefel with two upper chambers run from November 1942 production until March 1043 when the simplified single upper chamber was introduced. Fiefel were discontinued from October 1943, so the type fitted is dependent on when your tiger 1 was manufactured. Interestingly the small mounting plates for the hoses on the top of the hull were still fitted up to December 1943. Regards Dug
