Bob, you might look under the gearbox covers of those TR4's for an
overdrive unit... if you find one or two, offer them $25 apiece for em,
I'll give you my shipping address & fully reimburse you! Oh, and if it
wouldn't be too much trouble, see if they have the early style steering
rack & pinion and see what the diff. ratio is! ;-) Kidding... just
wishful thinking!
Seriously, after you get your parts, you might let the list know where
they are and their commission #'s and a general idea of what parts are
there. Maybe we can stage a rescue... or someone else can go get some
parts they need to help keep their cars on the road.
