Michael,
The reason I asked was because I have one crank handle that I was told
would work on my TR4 and when I inserted it through the radiator the
lobes on the shaft lined up with the radiator and the guideon the bumper.
But the one that is currently for sale on ebay has the lobes in what appear
to be different spots. I couldn't find a part number in the TR3 spare parts
catalogue to compare agains the one for the TR4. So I'm not 100%
convinced that they are the same.
