John,
Thanks for the suggestion about rotating the top...I guess GT-6 owners
are more "retro" than safe...huh?
I looked for you at Berkley Plantation...spoke with RTR people who
knew you, but guess you didn't make the show.
Also drove the TR to the "junk" yard mentioned in previous
messages...looked at the GT-6s and two Heralds, MGAs etc. Meant to
get the commission numbers etc but got chased (yard was closed) by the
god awfullest (wild) turkey I've ever seen...left in hurry...ate B-B-Q
in town which was neat...
See you in Waynesboro this weekend????
PMQ
73 TR-6
72 GT-6
etc....

I did this to my Mk II, also (for the same reason). You need to
swap the operating lever and rotate the top to get the fuel
lines to fit properly. It took maybe a 1/2 hour or so to get
it all to work and fit.
