Its usually best to trial fit the unit a couple of times and get them into a nice line to suit your own driving position especially the distance off the clutch pedal to the dipswitch. I did that on my 4a when I converted it and its just right to suit the fact that I wear size ten steel toe caps most of the time! Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianhoward Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 When I converted my first TR (an ex US TR4) from LHD to RHD I did as Stuart did... Measured the offset from the vertical, then heated and bent each of the two pedals the other way... for the accelerator I checked how the RHD was rigged and copied that using steel bar of the same diameter...

bob-menhennett Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hi The Moss catalogue 08A March 2008 page 27 shows the later type master cylinder bracket which has a switch mounting bracket to accept the electrical brake switch ( shown on pages 60/61). Earlier cars had a brake switch which was operated by the hydraulic system, plate 3-201 Triumph TR4 & TR4A Workshop Manual, and therefore didn't need the additional switch support bracket. I've got a spare of each type.... so depending on "what you have got " please PM me if you have the wrong one. (I need to weld on a captive nut on the early type ) Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhodri Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 The pics are of a late 1962 TR4 RHD pedal box. Mine was LHD, but I am putting it to RHD. By the way, I have the original pedals and the support, that I have heated and bent and I have welded and re-drilled the clevis pin hole in the clutch pedal. Yours for £12 plus p an p - not the master cylinder bracket though, they swap over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob-menhennett Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Gary During a restoration parts are acquired to "fit the bill" .Like so many, myself included,these priceless acquisitions sometimes prove to be "surplus to requirements". My advice , for what it is worth, is to check out the TR5 ( ? ) pedal box against your own car to be absolutely sure and then review the TR4 situation. Has it got an electrical switch or hydraulic, this will to some exent dictate which pedal box you need.Do you have the pedals already.Are you happy to adapt your own /or purchase Rhodri's to make life easy. The implication in the Moss catalogue is that if it is a TR4A dash you have it can be used for a TR4 with a little fettling.I expect someone like Stuart would be able to be more precise as to the work required.

Bob You can use the 4a dash but it will need the veneered front obviously (As fitted to most later US 4s anyway) and you will need the switch plinth as they are the other way up and the top extends slightly into the veneer. You may have to do a little adaption between the "H" section and the dash as the earlier ones sit slightly different at the top. Its not difficult to do and if you arent too worried about originality then its certainly cheaper than trying to find an early metal dash as they are now commanding a premium in right hand drive form.

Steven Whitaker Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Hi All Does anyone have a photo of the pedals and box for a RHD 4a please. My LHD 4a looks like the photo. Do I need to bend both to the right to create mirror image of LHD? But the brake pedal is almost straight so clutch would hit the brake pedal.. Thanks, Steven. Please wait while image is uploading...

Very useful. I’d have bought a set off you had I known, but already too far on for that to make sense. I appreciate your help. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
