Need assistance:  I have a '64 TR4 with some 4A parts interspersed with the 4 
parts.  One of the 4A parts is the center support.  Now comes the problem.  I'm 
replacing the dash, right and left 'bumpers', center plinth and dash top. I had 
originally ordered the 4 center switch plinth but it didn't fit.  I then 
realized that it must be because the center support is 4A (shift boot is 
integral with the support on the 4A) so I ordered a switch plinth for a 4A.  
Nope, it is different than either the piece of crap that I'm replacing or the 
one that I was set to return.  Any thoughts?  Could it be that the DPO used a 
TR6 center support?  I doubt it.  The problem seems to be the switch plinth 
'supports' (horns that extend from the dash) that stick out too far for the 4A 
and the shape of the 4 plinth is not right for the support.  These 'horns' are 
part of the metal dash itself.
 
I'm going to take a picture of the three units side by side by side and will 
send them to anyone who thinks they can identify the situation (will also take 
a pic of the center support)
