[Tigers] Hood Release - Bonnet Pull

[Theodore Brown]

Hello All:

The first Tiger I ever drove was at the dealer in New Haven, CT, the summer 
before I bought
mine.  It was at the dealer's because the bonnet pull had broken and they 
were trying to
figure out how to get the bonnet open to fix it.  Since then, I have been 
careful to try to
avoid that problem.  My solution on my MkIA, which has the cable pull, is 
to take a piece
of fairly stiff wire and attach it to the release mechanism under the hood 
and then thread
the wire through the hole(s) under the dash to a point adjacent to the 
release handle under
the cubby box.  That way, if the cable does break, (and by doing this you 
will insure that
it never will, ;>)), you have a redundant system that will allow you to 
release the bonnet.

Thanks to all who sent me advice on where to find the O-rings for the 
instruments.
