Hi Ray,
I do not have an extra cover. However, several years ago I had a friend make
a mold for the cover of the SF4 fuse box for an XK120 Jaguar. The black
impregnated fiberglass reproductions are extremely good.
So, if any interest, I could take my as new SJR3 cover and have a mold made
and fiberglass repros done. The bolt would have to be added later.
What you guys think.
And Ray, where is my book? Or did you forget?
Bob

Hello all,
Does anyone have the fuse cover and attached through bolt for one of the
TA-TB type voltage cutouts (CJR-3)??
Mine is missing.
Best,
Ray McCrary
