[Tigers] lights

Well, I think I just added $500 to the value of my car  because I have the 
original tape.  It looks like common old 1' wide masking  tape, but it's 
not.  It was something special available only for a few  years.  Impossible to 
replace or duplicate......kind of like the original  rivets:-)

What kind  of tape is it? How wide? How far up each pipe? Is it wound 
clockwise or  anticlockwise? How much overwrap? After 40 years, how much should 
be peeling  off?

I noticed that my original metal pipes in that  area had some kind of tape 
marking where the rubber pipes have to align on  the metal pipe. Without 
some kind of marking it is pretty hard to tell how  far to slide the rubber on 
to the metal. Slide on too far and the opposite  end will come up short, 
resulting in a possible  leak.
