A pair of TR6 U-JOINTS has our replacement parts for the TR4 and Ambro.
Note: I was side by side with an early Lotus 7, at the back straight at
Mosport, when his steering went adrift. Interesting watching this drama unfold
all of the way to the Jersey barriers. Scraping stop to some damage and no
injuries from about 100 mph.

With good reason. Nothing like having those rag joints come apart--say when
you're doing 100 plus and aiming straight at some ARMCO barriers in the front
straight at Sears Point.
The shaft size for TRs is pretty small too.
