Dave,

Took a look at the picture on p. 74 of "Tiger - The
making of a sports car", by Mike Taylor.  Seems that they
are the 382.. series, rather than the 947.... by the
servo vacuum connection running through a bent tube to
the manifold.  Mine has the earlier swivel banjo fitting,
which may contribute to the routing difficulties.

Anybody have that tube, fitting, and "P" clamp available?

I was able to put my hands on the solenoid.  Getting a
wrench around the cable nuts, and a small boy under the
dash to hold the uncaged nuts is a fit no mater which
size booster you have, unless it's a RHD.

Thanks for your effort.

Steve
