qkingston Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 So I've taken the 4a body tub off again before painting in a week's time and reminded myself that there a couple of mystery holes/bolts that I cannot account for. From my photos of when I got the car 3 years ago, I can't see what these holes/bolts were for (bearing in mind it was LHD when I got it). First 2 phot in the engine bay looking aft, L + R of gearbox tunnel. The last phot is obviously one of the rear light pockets, but why would a 4a have a hole into the inner wing space (or is that where the number plate light wires come into the car? - not the case when I got it) Identification assistance much appreciated Rgds David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Hi David, the rear light pocket hole is for the number plate wiring. Similar holes on my TR4 Roger Edited March 28, 2021 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Throttle mechanism support bracket for Left hand drive ? Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The two bolt holes with bolts in below are for dipswitch. The single bolt on the right hand side of the bulkhead would have been throttle stop for left hand drive car. Presumably that shell is converted from a left hand drive one. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR4Tony VC Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Also appear on some earlier RHD cars in 1961 and 1962, presumably because the pressing was common until such time as enough RHD cars were being made and sold Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Stuart, I don't quite understand that, my LHD dipswitch was on the LH bulkhead by the LH driver's left foot, are we talking about different things? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
