Hi Dave,
I couldn=E2=80=99t agree more with your comments below. When I restored my T=
R4A, I did it with reliability at the top of the list. I started off with Da=
n Master=E2=80=99s excellent wire harness and have recently replaced the sto=
ck differential with Richard Goods R200 differential kit, CV joint half shaf=
ts, rear hubs and Nylatron swing arm bushings.=20
I drove me TR4A all the time and not just locally:
2019 - Watkins Glen and on to Stowe,Vt.  3000 miles
2012 - Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 800 miles
Zanesville,Oh. down to the Ohio River next week (? Miles)
They are too much fun to let them sit in the garage!!
