[Fot] TR4 main bearing caps

[Joe Boruch]

I have heard rumors of racers making reinforced center main caps for TR3/4's
to reduce flex.  I think I saw a car advertised a few years ago in England
that purported to have one.  The others are beefy enough that they should not
need reinforcement.  I too have a block or two that did not come with main
caps.  Joe(B)

In my never ending quest to never toss anything I am trying to rescue a TR4
block that I got without main bearing caps. I have spare caps for the front
and center caps that are close enough for line honing but not a rear cap. My
machinist suggested that I could get a cap modeled and CNC'd to fit. We
talked about whether there would be anything gained from billet caps all
around. Has anyone done this?
