Bernard,
I can offer this little bit of info...Rimmer Brothers sells an adapter to
allow a Saloon A-type to fit a TR6 Chassis...check out this URL & Refer to
#71 on the list. Keep in mind that they will NOT be able to offer any
assistance/advise on how it fits together as I bought the conversion bracket
for a TR6 J-Type to be fit to an early Chassis(TR250). I believe there is
some reference to in the "How to Restore a TR250 & TR6" (Roger Williams)
book as well.

My 1 cent...cos I spent the other on Parts!
