[Ronald J. Ray]

so then, is using the term 100-4 like using the phrase 3000 MK I?

Thank you, Michael!  I paid quite a bit for a NOS in the box lever as
you described from a very reputable restorer who is not on this List.
And I have been chastised by "noted Healey experts" for having the
incorrect one.  I hope my '53 BN1 #663 qualifies as "very early 100s".
Does it?

Also, thank you for saying 100s instead of 100-4s!  Nothing raises my
hackles more than that term created, to my knowledge, by parts dealers.
If anybody can cite a reference of that term used by DMH, feel to flame
away and I will sincerely apologize!
