Hello List-
Good question.
The TRF Spare Parts Catalogue suggests a part number for a finger pull. It is
609463, but further indicates it was "not used on TR6 models." What does
this mean? Only used on TR 250's? Or perhaps a useful item, but not provided
by the factory?
Moss lists the same item,, but only provides it in chrome, which would
indicate to me that it was only used on the later TR6 models. My early TR6
and my TR 250 did not have a "finger pull" on them at purchase by me.
However, both were purchased after several modifications were made to them,
some of which I am just now discovering.
Any other views?
The 6Pack Trials was a great time. If you have a TR 250 or a TR6, plan to
join us next year in Rockford, Illinois!

My '74 is the same song and dance and the way I got it open was using a
little screw driver(after pushing the button in) to get it open. This is not
a every day solution though. Therefore, I got a key made for the lock and
when you push in the button you can use the key to pull the door open. Later
I found out that earlier models had a little finger pull mounted just below
the lock so that it doesnt take you and some other tool to get the blasted
door open. I've bought one but still have not put it on. Like you, I wonder
if there isnt supposed to be some spring or something on the "post finger
pull" models. Anyone?
