61. Re: [TR] Narrowing in on a lost commission number (score: 1): Author: nwolf@u.washington.edu; Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:28:19 -0800 (PST); Indeed... Hence my use of the word "tentatively". Bonnet bubbles in particular have a long history of debate on this list. All the transition points should definitely be taken with a grain of salt.

Has anyone actually seen the fabled one-piece rear deck on a very early TR4? It's in Piggott's book, and most of the parts suppliers show a corresponding part change, but I'; /html/triumphs/2008-03/msg00095.html (9,189 bytes)

Re: [TR] Narrowing in on a lost commission number (score: 1): Author: nwolf@u.washington.edu; Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 15:07:13 -0800 (PST); OK, I got the body-in-white number from the mystery car (probably a mid-'62 TR4): ZS 010966 Here's what other people's cars show (thanks for the data!): CT 1798 L = ZS 17010 CT 5521 LO = ZS 16435 CT; /html/triumphs/2008-03/msg00101.html (9,190 bytes)

Re: [TR] Narrowing in on a lost commission number (score: 1): Author: nwolf@u.washington.edu; Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 15:53:29 -0800 (PST); Hi Bob The "body-in-white" number is stamped into a welded-on tag in the left rear wheel well, just behind and above the rear axle. According to Piggott's book, they were in place before the bodies g; /html/triumphs/2008-03/msg00103.html (10,388 bytes)

Did I miss something funny? ;) Seriously though, that is a great explanation of why the body-in-white numbers exist.

Re: [TR] Narrowing in on a lost commission number (score: 1): Author: nwolf@u.washington.edu; Date: Sat, 8 Mar 2008 17:35:59 -0800 (PST); I have written to BMIHT to see if there is any hope of ferreting out the build record using the body-in-white number. In the meantime, I received a couple more data points for the TR4 body-in-white; /html/triumphs/2008-03/msg00196.html (10,644 bytes)

It's looking more and more like the myth of the early (pre-CT5643) one-piece TR4 rear deck is busted. Despite Mr. Piggott's statements to the contrary, I have now; /html/triumphs/2008-03/msg00197.html (9,457 bytes)

[TR] Early TR4 change points (score: 1): Author: nwolf@u.washington.edu; Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:53:27 -0700 (PDT); I got the official word from Richard Bacchus at BMIHT: They cannot tell me anything about my mystery TR4 using only the body-in-white number.

The "AE" on the back means they were made by American Eagle. Check the questions at the bottom of the auction and you'll see that multiple peop; /html/triumphs/2008-03/msg00403.html (9,498 bytes)

I think yours is the most valuable data point I've gotten so far.
