Hi Jack,

> Thanks Tom. I have the original transmissions from my TR-2 and TR-3 sitti=
ng in my garage. I just measured the thickness of the flange and it is .360=
" on both. I don't know what that converts to in millimeters. I assume the=
early TR-4 was about the same, although the gearbox housing casting was dif=
ferent due to going to the fully synchronized transmission on the TR-4 (and s=
ome TR-3B's)

> As to my original question, I dug out my factory parts books for TR-2 - TR=
-6 to check the part numbers for the slave cylinder support bracket. Unfort=
unately, my TR-2 parts book is for TR-2 through TR-3A, and while it shows 2 d=
ifferent part numbers, it doesn't tell when the change was made. So, I thin=
k the TR-2 and some of the TR-3's used bracket part number 106701. At some p=
oint during the TR-3 run, they changed to part number 128042. Interesting e=
nough that same part number appears in both the TR-4 and the TR-4A parts boo=
ks. Therefore, once they changed to 128042, they stayed with it for all the=
rest of the TR-4's and TR-4A's.

housing) and it is part number 136353.

tched to the 128042 part number, I would like to know. Also, if you have a b=
racket which you know is for a TR-4 or 4A, please check the measurement betw=
een the top holes, as explained in my original email below, and let me know t=
he distance between them.Thanks.
