[TR] TR4 Rear Suspension

[Jeffrey Gayton]

Thanks Randall and Dave N. I went ahead and ordered from World Wide. Oddly, I lived in Madison, Wisconsin until about a year ago and never knew they were there. That said, I didn’t own my TR4 while I was there either.

I’ll still keep an eye out for twin valve DAS9, though. I’ve got a bug to get period upgrades to the car, like the optional electric fuel pump. It all started when I found a NOS front sway bay on eBay a couple of months ago. Curses!

Needless to say (for those of you who remember), I’ve decided to keep and eventually repair may chassis rather than go with a replacement. 

Thanks.
