My Mk1A, assembled sometime in the late summer of '66, has a rod release...
because I installed it.
I'd heard the horror stories about breaking cables, so at a United parts
swap I saw a rod type release just laying there on a table, waiting for me.
A few bucks later, I found it bolted right in, no mods required. So maybe
somebody else did the same thing, and that's where it came from.

Subject: [Tigers] Hood release
Okay, a question/survey.............some cars came with a cable to release
the hood and others with a rod. I have heard that the MK1's came with a
rod and everything after came with a cable.
When I got my MK1A over 20 yrs. ago it came with a rod. It's hard to
believe that the cable had been switched for a rod because just about
nothing
on the car had been changed. It was as original as you could find. On
Ebay
there is a rod for sale that is claimed to come from a MK1A..... Item
#251292299850 .
So, the question is, did anyone else have an original MK 1A or MK11 that
came with a rod rather than a cable?
