I have the TR4-TR6 upper arms and the TR4 trunnions on a TR3A. It's not
adjustable, but it does give a fixed three degrees of castor. Now, what was
the original question? :)

Nick,
I found all the details. It was the series III, not the II. They are as
follows:
Use the late TR4-TR6 upper arms, with a Jaguar Series III ball joint to
provide
adjustable caster & camber. You must use with the late TR4 trunnion that
has 3
degrees of caster built in to it.
Again, I have no personal experience with this arrangement.
Please let me know if anyone confirms this arrangement, off list.
Thanks,
Jack

Nick,
I believe what you are looking for is the Jaguar Series II upper ball joint.
The setup I am aware of is for providing adjustable caster to a TR3. This
involved the use of TR4 upper arms (so it'll work for a TR4 also) and a
Jaguar
Series II upper ball joint. The joint is narrower than the TR ball and
needed
to be shimmed front or back to move the pivot point accordingly.
I don't recall where I became aware of this combination of parts, but since
I
have not yet executed it myself, so you may be well advised to wait for a
confirmation from the list, before buying the ball joints. Sorry I couldn't
be
more definitive, but until I do it myself, it's hear-say.
Can anyone confirm the Jaguar Series II upper ball joint is what Nick is
looking
for?
Later,
Jack Brooks
