Thanks Andy (and everybody else that responded) - that's exactly what I lear=
ned - except, of course, that nobody else has used the term "Herald-sourced"=
.    ;-)

The bottom line for me is that if you have a TR4A with a header rail that ha=
s previously been badly welded to the top frame and now has broken off again=
, there is no easy fix using more readily available parts from a TR6 - unles=
s you want to start by changing the windshield frame - you need to find anot=
her TR4A header rail and top frame - and I have.

Cheers,
Jack Mc
