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.

No worries Meter Rat, thanks for taking the trouble to look.
