Besalu Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 I picked up a used TR4 front upper and lower valance at Stoneleigh for a chap in the Spain TR group who had a shunt in his TR4 and who needs a new front end/bonnet. I plan on tiding it up for him (doesn't need much apart from welding up some home-made ventilation holes). I was looking at the Rimmer catalogue online and they have two different codes for the upper valance, one for the 4 and one for the 4a. Could anyone tell me what the difference is? Is it anything to do with grille fittings? 2nd question. How are the two panels normally fitted together? These are spot-welder together but not sure if that is how they are normally connected? Thanks, Richard Quote
stuart Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Yes the two sections are originally spot welded together. Stuart. Quote
Jase Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 I'm going to bolt mine together when I assemble. Quote

Jase Posted March 1 Report Posted March 1 No thanks, it was pop riveted previously and was fine, gives me a little more adjustment and I can paint before I assemble. Quote
