<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; ">I think that's a mounting bracket for the single headlamp on the late Tiger if I'm not mistaken.</span>

RE: What was the hook for?
 

Yes, it is the bracket for the head lamp of a mid or late tiger (with zimmerit pattern clearly visible).
It is the frontal plate where there is (from the left of the picture) the ball mount for the MG, head lamp and driver visor.
The other part in the picture is the commander cupola located on the turret.

The real question is, where where these parts found? Would be interesting to know if it's another dig.

Hey Bob,

I found a site that is dedicated to nothing but a buch of guys who go digging for Tiger parts. I thik they have anough track to build three of them.

That sure did not look like the Bosch light mount, but might be the angle.

Hi Don
Looks like the bracket got bent during the front end mod process. Got a link to the sight?

This front plate was dug up a few years back what you see is what they found don’t forget destroyed tanks where cut up for scrap

RE: What was the hook for?
 

I know most were cut up. but it is amazing what is being dug up also.

Let me see if I can find it again. I thought I put it under favorites but can't seem to locate it.
