the one that bolts between the frames under the rad. Was the bracket the same for the 4 and 4A? Did the 4's have an extra L shaped bracket on either end? Were they both 16" long like the TR3's? What's a reasonable price to pay for one seeing as how they are Any info appreciated. Karl

If you are needing one for a 4, it is easy to make your own, if you have a welder and a way to cut angle iron.

I used 2" angle cut at 16", filled each end with a 2" squares, then added a 2"x2" angle 1" wide welded to the end fillers and drilled for the bolts to secure it to the frame ends. Only took an hour or so to fabricate. Just remember; Beat to Fit, Paint to Match.

You left out Measure with a Micrometer, Cut with an Axe.
 
Karl,

No the TR4 and TR4A had different radiator shields presumably due to the different frames.

TR4 208639
TR4A 213026 (306671 alternative)

Note that the TR6 one works on a TR4A and would allow you to use a TR6 front anti-roll bar (which is what I did with mine). TRF is selling the TR6 radiator shield for $140.00 so hopefully you could get a used one cheaply.
