Jim,
You have the early version TR4 frame if axle travel straps are fixed to sides 
of frame. Later the fixings were atop the frame.
I can at least give you the 'travel' allowed with the later type TR4 straps.
Axle travel equals 7.25" ie; from top of my frame to underside of top of 
strap. The base of my straps are spread to 5.5".
Regards,
Carl
'63 TR4 since '74

Would some kind soul please give me a rough dimension of the rear axle bump 
strap on their TR4 or solid axle TR4A?  I'm preparing to reassemble 
bit/pieces on my nicely painted frame (at looooooooooong last!) and have 
been wondering about two (either side) threaded studs sticking out of the 
frame on the spring side.  During casual reading of the shop manual last 
night (yeah, I need a life: who the hell reads the shop manual for fun??) 
it hit me: they're the mounting studs for the rear axle bump 
strap.  Fabricating new straps will be trivial, but I don't know the proper 
dimension.
Tnx Jim
