Hugh, I only have 1 TR6 column and it was marked late TR6. It was
from a parts car that I picked up years ago. This one has splined
ears that slide off from where it would attach to the rubber coupling,
and it does indeed fit the u-joint (finally got all the parts together
in one spot to try it - Thanks to all that responded on this
question).
I can't speak as to whether all TR6s are this way, since these are
about the only TR6 parts that I have experience with. Joe(B)

Dean/Joe,
Is the TR4 column different from a TR6? I ask because on my "6", the
top of
the column (where the rubber mount goes) has metal "arms" that are
cast into
the part and have threaded holes for the bolts that go through the
rubber
mount. The bottom has the "normal" spline for the U-joint.

Joe (B);
I used the U-joint from the bottom of a TR6 for both
joints on
my TR4. Dean T.
