Good Grief !!!!! I read your note just before starting out on the RAC
Classic at the weekend - I have suffered from a squeak at the front of
my TR4 ever since I rebuilt it.
I have sprayed WD 40 everywhere in an attempt to get rid of the squeak
which was most noticable (and annoying) when going over rough roads. I
took out some tape - put it around the hood support rod and hey presto
! Problem solved !
You don't know how grateful I am - at last a quiet (??) TR4 Thanks
to both Jack and Dennis for persuing this problem on the list !
