[Fot] "GT40" lifters

[R. John Lye]

Also, Ken Gillanders used to sell them  as a kit with the
sleeves for the TR-2/3/4 block.

They are commonly used in the TR-2/3/4 block in 
place of stock lifters by using a sleeve - in 
this case they are smaller than stock.  If you 
use the cam developed by Larry Young you can't 
use those lifters as he needs the full diameter 
of the stock lifter.  The Elgin cams work OK with them though.

I'd not heard of using them in a TR-6 until now though.
