[Fot] TR4 front engine plate = wanted

[Joe Alexander]

Yes. Spacing the tensioner is a good thing to do.

We have a stock of aluminum TR3 & TR4 & Morgan plates that we have fabricated for about 15 years.   Sean would discount to FOT if interested.

GT6, TR6 and Spitfire plates are also in stock and available.
