Wood dashes were always an option on the TR4. Later TR4s always came to the
States with wood dashes fitted.

Grab a Hemmings and start calling. You'll find the parts, although they may
set you back some $$$!

Well, you could always put an older one piece exhaust header! What you`re
planning sounds like what I did on a TR4 way back when. Worked. Was using a
Monza system at the time, not a stock set-up, though.
Good Luck,
