Hi John,

VTR has just such listings on it's web site.  Now that we have a new
webmaster, Rick Reeves, count on updates whenever people provide new
content.  You can send Rick content at webmaster at vtr.org.

Just a side note:

Also, as a thank you, anyone providing technical articles will be
given a one-year membership in VTR or have their membership extended
by one year.  Several have taken us up on that, Brian Jones comes to
mind.  He wrote a couple of excellent tech articles:  heated driving
jacket: <http://vtr.org/maintain/extendDrivingSeason.pdf> and audio in
a TR4: <http://www.vtr.org/maintain/GreatAudioTR4.pdf>.

Back to your post...

Check out http://vtr.org/other-links.shtml

Where you'll find this section, about half way down, intended for
individuals who are helping, on a personal level, to keep parts
available.  If you send the links for the individuals you site in your
email, VTR will get them added.  Some are already included.  Right
now, the listing appear as follows:

---------------------------
Commercial Sites:

PLEASE NOTE: The listing of a commercial or individual's site here in
no way constitutes a recommendation by VTR for a particular vendor.

this list.

manufacture parts on their own to make our cars better:

	 Dan Masters - Wire Harness, Electronics Manual for TR6
	 Rick Patton - Fan Eliminator
	 Rick Patton - Throttle Body Injection (TBI) Upgrade
	 John Wilson - Throttle Body Injection (TBI) Upgrade
