Geezzee, where were all these 4A top frames when I was looking for one.
Bought a nice one from Team Triumph, Ohio (no interest, etc.) You should
be able to find a TR4 top frame for between $75.00 -$100.00 from one the
guys that advertise used parts in Hemmings. Jerry Oliver, '66 TR4A, '61
MGA, '58 Jaguar OTS (looking for sheet metal). '
