I happen to know that the guts from a TR6 rear will fit a solid axle `4. I
have one in mine. It has to be so with the `4A. The solid axle TR4A rear may
be different superficially (mounting points etc). However, There should be
no reason he couldn't swap out what's inside (unless his rear axle housing
is buggered beyond repair).
