Hi gang,

Refitting the interior this week end.  Boy is it a pain in 
the ass to get the gearbox cover on..... with all the bolts 
installed.   Car now moves under it own power.  Although I 
haven't gotten out of 1st or revese gear yet.

Got a question about why the TR4A diaphram clutch doesn't 
appear to have a return spring on the slave cylinder 
linkage and the TR4 does.  Even though my car is a 62,  it 
has '66 engine and transmission with a diaphram clutch and 
linkage. 

The spring is appears to be designed to return the slave 
cylinder to it's retracted position so the throw-out 
bearing doesn't ride on the clutch fingers.  

I don't want to damage the new throw-out bearing and clutch 
by not getting this right.
