I am on a 2nd windshield due to a friend grabbing the windshield to get out of
the car. It has a bar now!

Those are for the passenger grab rail. They attach
with sort of an Acme-style slotted, countersunk screw.

In today's safety conscious age, I suppose the grab handle
does look a bit
out of place, bearing in mind safety belts hadn't registered
on the
Standard-Triumph Engineering or Production radars of the
fifties and
sixties. So yup, it's a good place to test the
uncrackability of your skull
or compression resistance of front teeth :) But if anyone
gets the
opportunity of checking out a pre-war MG PA/PB or even a J2,
not only did
the passenger have the opportunity of smashing themselves
against the grab
handle, they had the added pleasure of an ignition key and
main lighting
switch ensuring the 'job' was really done properly!

I do feel need to congratulate the manufacturer's
engineering of that handle, since it's big enough for my
wife to clinch with both hands as she, vociferously, I might
add, contemplates the proximity of the pavement and the
girth and ponderous rubber of two-story Peterbilt tires
rumbling near her head as we whizz past them in the slow
lane.
One thing, though, that could have been improved.
British Leyland could have built the handle pre-engineered
with the indents of knuckle grips instead of forcing owners'
wives to imprint these into the metal manually later.
All that said, she's come to enjoy our rides through New
Hampshire country lanes on sunny summer days, top down and
wind flinging through the cockpit. Note that she
doesn't take naps like she does in our other cars.
Benefit for me? No room for paper parcels from
shopping mall forays, hence ready excuse to go for ice cream
instead. I am, of course, expressive of sorrow that we are
forced to miss that bonding experience....

I'd also like to nominate my wife for the "grip onto
something if the brake
lights come on in the car 400 yards in front" society.
In our "regular" car
it is the handle above the door: in the TR3 it is
usually a bracing posture
against the cockpit capping. One reason NEVER to get a
grab handle.
But I must add: one time a truck passed us and a guy
leaned out the window.
"She's a beauty!" he hollered. "Yes, " I replied, "and
we've been married a
long time!"
I am still milking that one !

I do feel need to congratulate the manufacturer's
engineering of that
handle, since it's big enough for my wife to clinch with
both hands as she,
vociferously, I might add, contemplates the proximity of the
pavement and
the girth and ponderous rubber of two-story Peterbilt tires
rumbling near
her head as we whizz past them in the slow lane.
One thing, though, that could have been improved.
British Leyland could
have built the handle pre-engineered with the indents of
knuckle grips
instead of forcing owners' wives to imprint these into the
metal manually
later.
All that said, she's come to enjoy our rides through New
Hampshire country
lanes on sunny summer days, top down and wind flinging
through the cockpit.
Note that she doesn't take naps like she does in our other
cars.
Benefit for me? No room for paper parcels from
shopping mall forays, hence
ready excuse to go for ice cream instead. I am, of course,
expressive of
sorrow that we are forced to miss that bonding
experience....

In today's safety conscious age, I suppose the grab handle
does look a bit
out of place, bearing in mind safety belts hadn't registered
on the
Standard-Triumph Engineering or Production radars of the
fifties and
sixties. So yup, it's a good place to test the
uncrackability of your skull
or compression resistance of front teeth :) But if anyone
gets the
opportunity of checking out a pre-war MG PA/PB or even a J2,
not only did
the passenger have the opportunity of smashing themselves
against the grab
handle, they had the added pleasure of an ignition key and
main lighting
switch ensuring the 'job' was really done properly!

I had a Healey 100, I don't worry overly much about
things. But with the windshield down in "racing
position" I do remember contemplating the effects of a
collision with the narrow metal top of the windshield and my
face and (or teeth)

Subject: [TR] TR4 Door Lock
Message-ID:
<000a01d0d769$cadca4a0$6095ede0$@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Does anyone have a TR4 door lock barrel with lock number
743. I know this
is a pretty detailed question, but one of my original 743
locks on my TR4
has a buggered chrome cap where the key is inserted. Cant
seem to figure out
if I can take a chrome cap off another lock barrel and
reinstall without
damaging. I also thought about putting the key
mechanisms into another lock
to make it a 743, but cant see how it would come apart. Any
experts out
there or do you know of an expert I can send my orig lock to
for fixing.
Macy's Garage? I have a really nice 910 lock that is
perfect if anyone has
one of those. My car originally came with the
743 and I have the orig keys
so I 'd like to keep same.
Thanks in advance,
Jim Henningsen
