Following advice / feedback from the excellent Tiger Owners Club Forum members, have adjusted location of top alternator bracket in order to lower alternator. Now drive belt no longer fouls 'stat housing, but alternator now only millimeters from no.1 exhaust header. Should be ok with thermal wrap on headers and a heatshield |

| Exhaust headers now wrapped. |

| Radiator and cooling fan installed, coolant hoses fitted, expansion tank and battery installed. |

| Carbs fitted (Dellorto DHLA 45's), throttle cable installed and throttle stop fixed at pedal end. |

Started work on dash - inital mock-up made from cardboard, paper cutouts made for instuments and switches. Several layouts tried until favourite decided on. Blank then cut from 4mm exterior ply. Will refine final shape before fabricating necessary lower edge radius for IVA. |

Next jobs - cutting out holes for instruments and switches and connecting dash wiring for testing. Fill cooling system, set up distributor with basic settings and add some fuel to tank with a view to an engine start attempt by the end of February. |
