Well hot damn! I *finally* have an opportunity to contribute to the List :-)
I just pulled the tub off my '63 TR4. Didn't have a chance to weight it (a
bit awkward for the bathroom scales) but my son and I had no trouble at all
lifting it. Weight couldn't have been more than 200# (completely stripped,
nothing left on the tub but rust and rumors of paint). The main issue was
having a good grip on it, as the balance was a bit fiddly - one hand at the
rear of the rocker sill helps a lot.
