My TR4 is also a very early one with the TR3 type front suspension, but 
I'm afraid I don't have a spare set of lower arms.
 
Since we're talking about early TR4 parts, can anyone offer any leads on
the following? 
 
Short Bubble Hood: Used on _very_ early TR4s.  The bubble stops 6 inches in 
front of the rear edge of the hood, unlike later ones where the bubble 
goes almost to the rear edge.  Mine looks like someone jumped up and down 
on it, and it's too badly sprung to hold its original shape.
 
Seats:  Full set needed, complete with runners.  Early TR4 seats have 
lift-out seat bottoms (similar to late TR3A) as opposed to the one-piece 
seats with diaphragm bottoms used in later TR4 through TR6.  My seats are 
from a TR6.
 
Dashboard Brace:  Two-piece type which does not enclose the base of the
gearshift lever.
