The stock MK IA engine for your Tiger was painted black. To me it
would look funny to have a black housing mounted on an aluminum intake.
TBON shows an aluminum intake with a thermostat housing that looks like
natural color.
I think a color similar to the aluminum intake color is the way to
go. You could wire brush the housing then apply a clear or matte paint to
protect it. There are other products that give a natural color too.
This is really a case of what looks right to you; the aluminum paint
or natural. Pick one and go with it.

Subject: [Tigers] MK1a Originality question
I have a very early MK1a : ......000090.
When using a LAT1 aluminum F4B Intake, is the thermostat housing supposed to
be painted aluminum color?
Thanks in advance,
Allan Ballard
