Hi Dave,I couldn’t agree more with your comments below. When I restored my TR4A, I did it with reliability at the top of the list. I started off with Dan Master’s excellent wire harness and have recently replaced the stock differential with Richard Goods R200 differential kit, CV joint half shafts, rear hubs and Nylatron swing arm bushings. I drove me TR4A all the time and not just locally:2019 - Watkins Glen and on to Stowe,Vt.  3000 miles2012 - Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix 800 milesZanesville,Oh. down to the Ohio River next week (? Miles)They are too much fun to let them sit in the garage!!Dave Connitt‘67 TR4A IRSDavesTR4A.com

 How true.  Back in the day when they were expected to be primary transportation this was an issue.  But forty years later these cars are hobbies and for tech savvy owners part of the appeal is to make the improvements that the factory couldn't afford to do.  And take advantage of hindsight.  And take advantage of technological improvements that came along after these cars were produced.  And all this can be executed in a manner that preserves the character and driving experience intended by the builders in the first place.  

Enjoy the ride.

I wish that article about the simply awful Stag would get lost. There are those of us who find  it a sweet car to drive and to look at, with the cooling issues easily attended to with aftermarket improvements.
