Daniel,
My expertiese is with TR3s but I believe the colours apply to TR4s as well
Engine compartment, including underside of bonnet colour of body.
Brake & clutch pedal & mounting assy & fluid resavour are black
Bracket for mounting windscreen wiper motor is black. Wiper motor gray metal
finish at both ends and gear box at end of motor. Middle of wiper motor crinkle
black.
If you want authenticity, brake lines painted colour of body except tubes
between master cylinders and resavour. Bolt heads colour of body, and unpainted
where attaching brake assy & wiper assy.
Let me know what else you need
