I have one on a TR4A  and it doesn't fit quite right. I may do some
fiddling to get it to fit.

"You can share this information with the list if it helps.

Dick Stockton uses the round motor mounts as well as your torque
reaction arm (mounted on the opposite side of the factory mount so it
works under acceleration). He has had no fuel foaming issues running it
in this configuration.   Bob"

Dick Stockton's FOT Alter Ego reports that Dick uses the Torque Reaction
Arm on the opposite side (Driver), instead of the passenger side. This
will work from full acceleration and makes sense.

However,  I think the factory put it on passenger side to limit the
first action (rotation of engine) under severe braking. This limits the
full travel of the engine, from left to right at the top of the engine,
when you come off of the brake and go directly to full throttle. (Visual
engine rotating from extreme left to extreme right at the top)

The ultimate solution might be put the Torque Reaction Arm on BOTH sides
of the engine. I may consider that for mine.

Note: Since the TRA is normally in no direct contact with the frame, it
will not transfer vibration to the float bowls.

The same concept will work with the TR3, but it needs different
dimensions to
fit.   Someone asked about this

I have never tried it on a TR4A frame.
