[Fot] Has anybody put a TR4 tub on a TR6 chassis?

[Jim Gray]

It will fit, you have to adjust some body mount holes behind the seats and the motor mounts are different but it will go on.

A big difference is the emergency brake.

With a lot of cutting, welding and fabrication I am sure it would work.  
I sort of remember a TR3 at the Boulder VTR convention in 1990 that was 
heavily modified to fit on a TR6 frame.  I remember it as the car that 
won the autocross at the racetrack because the driver thought that the 
"optional" slalom along the back straight did not mean you could choose 
to start it on the left or right, but choose to do it or just blast 
straight through ignoring the cones altogether.
