Thanks Randall and Dave N. I went ahead and ordered from World Wide. Oddly, I 
lived in Madison, Wisconsin until about a year ago and never knew they were 
there. That said, I didnâ??t own my TR4 while I was there either.

Iâ??ll still keep an eye out for twin valve DAS9, though. Iâ??ve got a bug to 
get period upgrades to the car, like the optional electric fuel pump. It all 
started when I found a NOS front sway bay on eBay a couple of months ago. 
Curses!

Needless to say (for those of you who remember), Iâ??ve decided to keep and 
eventually repair may chassis rather than go with a replacement. 

Thanks.
