I'm _very_ interested in Hybrids (or TransAtlantic cars or
Ameri-powered cars), there seem to be about 2 dozens different types, but I
do not see how TR-8's qualify, nor Jensen-Healeys. Well, thanks for passing
the info along, Chris, but I guess it's just as well I trashed the offer I
got in the mail this week to subscribe to European Car. Perhaps the J-H was
just easier to find than a pre-war Jensen, a CV8 (hey, doesn't the new
Celica look like one in the front, with the canted headlights and the
center-of-hood vent?), or an FF.

BTW, mine have been in about 5 years (front of carb only); they're
yellow, but not leaking. I guess if I could find the original metal ones I
could plug those back in.

Oh, man! Another hard-to-find OEM part that I don't have on the GQ?
There wasn't one in there when I had my tanks out, or I would likely have
noticed. Well, perhaps I'll find a DR (anyone know the part #?) on eBay, or
maybe someone might know if a DR from a Triumph or MG would fit. Also, what
size hose clamps are used to attach the in- and out-flow lines to the DR,
and which way does it face?
