Chris,
You may be right. I may have that backward between A & J. If D =
switches between 2, 3, & 4, it is probably a D since it is in a 4A. =
Weren=E2=80=99t A & J on the 250 & 6? And if fitted to a 4 would =
require modification?

I think you may have it the other way round. The D type od -- like I =
have in my 63 tr4 has od in 2, 3, and 4. The J type in my TR6 has =
only 3rd and 4th.
=20
I believe you could modify a j type cover to add a switch and go for 2, =
3 and 4.
