Jim,
I think that what they're talking about when they say "headlight ground" is
the weird double-ground connector that is used to ground the two ground
leads from the light harness.  I have attached a picture of one.  This one
is broken.  It should be symmetrical with a loop on each end.  These loops
accept the barrel connectors from the headlight and signal/parking-light
harnesses.  There's one on each side and it mounts using the threaded stud
from the rubber bumper for the hood.  This is a pretty rare part.  I
checked the British Wiring website and couldn't find it.  Maybe if you
contact them and email the picture they can help you.  Otherwise, you may
have to cannibalize a parts car.  Good luck..

I see good responses and pictures to Jim's questions.   I learned many =
new things with this thread; thanks to all for responding.

Jim and I responded privately about the oil filter hoses so I'm posting =
pictures of what I believe is an original oil filter hose from my Tiger. =
  The hose fitting and the ink stamp.  The ink stamp is mostly off white =
in color with touches of red or pink.

I thought there was someone on this List who was making correct oil =
filter hoses or am I wrong again.

Also when I was using the oil filter original parts - I painted the =
engine block adaptor black - this adaptor is cast steel or iron so I =
painted it.   Is black the correct original color?

More questions:

Somewhere, I believe I saw an article about the Battery Wood Spacer - =
somewhere is the big question.  It would be very nice to know these =
answers, these parts are not listed in the Parts List as far as I know.  =
  Pictures, dimensions, type of wood
There is also the Battery Manifold Breather Tube c/w 6 plugs.

Fastener descriptions can mostly be looked up in the  Alpine Parts List, =
Section ZY, you need all the Alpine Parts List issues for complete =
coverage.
Generally, there is a good description of fasteners in the Tiger Parts =
Lists with each part.

Here is a picture of the wood piece mounted to the body in my Tiger for =
the battery - I don't know for sure if it is original.

10.75" L x 1.5" W x .400" thick

The plywood piece below the battery is not original.
I have 2 pieces of plywood under the battery tray making it near level.

More vent-hose pictures (attached)
Some years ago I ran across an Ebay listing for a Sunbeam Tiger part.  The
pictures attached are from the listing.  The seller didn't know what it
was, but he described the hose as having a nick in it.  The hose was
incomplete, having only 5 caps.  The 'nick' was where the 6th cap should
attach.  I messaged the seller and asked him if he had the 6th cap.
Seller's response was to remove the listing.  I never saw the listing
again.  I would have bought it, incomplete or not.

Far from original but I recreated the battery breather tube using a replica L=
ucas battery. Totally wrong clamps because I use a battery quick disconnect.=
 Lost a 1/2 point at the concours for that
