Hi Tod,
Looks like all the bitchin bout ebay wiped you out... pity!
On my MkIs, the wire loom hanger is attached to the lower Tach
mounting stud (making it a pain to remove/replace the tach).,
right where the loom makes a right angle bend toward the
firewall.
The other bracket.. I've never seen that. Only thing I can
think of is maybe it's for the turn signal flasher? My flasher
is plugged into a socket that is screwed into the back of the
dash but I have MkI's...

Subject: [Tigers] Dashboard Questions
Hello All:
I am in the process of replacing the dashboard on my Tiger and have come
across a couple of things that are a bit puzzling.
Behind the dash, as you know, is a large bundle of wires that run from
one side of the car to the other, all wrapped together with vinyl tape.
I noticed when I removed my dash that there is a clamp around the bundle
of wires just to the left of the steering column. It obviously should
be attached to something by way of a through bolt to help support the
bundle of wires, but I cannot figure out where it should be attached.
There doesn't seem to be any obvious attachment point within easy reach
of the clamp. I can slide the clamp along the bundle so it is not clear
if it is in its original position. Not too long ago I had the steering
column removed and rebuilt, so I suspect that the clamp was undone at
that time and not put back. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
The second mystery has to do with a small bracket that I discovered when
I removed my original 43-year-old dash for the first time. Mounted on
the back of the dash at about 1 o'clock above the ammeter, when viewed
from the back side, is a bracket which is screwed to the dash. There is
a tab which is flush with the dash through which a wood screw passes and
attaches it to the dash. At right angles to the tab is a circular ring
with an o.d. of 15/16 in. and an i.d. of 5/8 in. On close examination,
I find no marks on the bracket that indicate that it ever held
anything. What the heck is this and what is it doing there?
Thanks in advance for your help.
