He is correct but I didn't think that TR-4's came with the hole in the
radiator that late (1965). I know for a fact as I own one that the
early TR-4's did in fact have hane a rectangular section(hole) cut out
of the radiator, Just like the TR-3's so that a long crank handle could
be put through the grill( that's the reason for the round hole area in
the bottom center of the TR-4 grill) through the radiator and onto the
crankshaft bolt to turn(start) the engine by hand.
