Thanks Bob,
Maybe I do have a TR4A valance for my TR4 .. the first one I installed was 
about 1978. The second one is identical and installing now.. I will also send 
photos to you maybe you'd recognize difference.. on a TR4A, maybe they retained 
park lamp brackets (in slightly different position) for the new grill even 
though the lamps went to wings??? I've got the bottom light (directional 
brackets 
lined up perfectly) but the parking lamps another story.. 
I agree about the stamped grill being very sturdy whence bolted on - I'm 
impressed!
regards, 
Carl

<< Carl,

I just completed my 63 restoration and the grill lined up perfectly with all 
4 

valance brackets.

Both the parking lights and directionals are secured by all brackets.

That grill and lights are very solid with all those speed nuts!

The Triumph engineers really didnt want the grill falling off!

As far as I can tell, it was the orginal valance. I did replace the lower 

valance but that did not affect the alignment of the brackets in the upper 

part. 

It sounds like you have a 4A valance with the 4 grill.
