Would that I could... The fellow, a charter member in the CITOA has
dropped out of sight. He hasn't been to events for several years.

The windscreen cap and cockpit surrounds were chromed or polisehed
aluminum. The only other item that might be chromed brass might
be the fittings for wind deflectors that I have heard about for TR4s,
but have never seen.
To clarify my staement concerning the dash for early TR4s. As
have found from very reliable sources the dash boards for the first
year TR4's were only offered in metal... PAINTED WHITE (as to what
shade of white, the paint codes or other such minutia I'll leave that
to
the anal types that live for it). If a first year TR4 has a wood dash,
it was most likely an after market Item or home made.
