Missing "anti rattle" plunger & spring ? Bob

Now if they were 165 tyres -----, but I see they are 155 Bob

Hardy Engineering have a good reputation, they did my overdrive 11 years ago & it's stiill going strong, also they have done a friends TR3 gearbox & overdrive ditto. They are in Kingston road Leatherhead. Bob

OK, just had a look, I do have the bracket on the chassis (central) but no corresponding fixing place on the apron. Th apron did have a new scratch made bottom welded on, so that would be why. In the 11 years since it was done no bad effects from not having it have been observed. Bob

It does ring a bell, I will take a look & report back, but my front apron has been seriously repaired, & so it may have been deleted. I would say that the starting handle guide support does so very well. Bob

Do you mean the two stay rods going from chassis to the starting handle guide ? Bob

I actually do have one for my TR3 which I am not using any more (due to fitting a roll over bar, & full harness seat belts which makes fitting it complicated) But would it fit ? don't know. Bob

This sort can easily be fitted inside the TR3- 3A overdrive switch housing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266435708679?var=566244560570 These photos are of a center biased two way switch, but the single way biased switch above will fit just the same. Bob

The trouble with asking for a used one is that the fasteners may not be in exactly the right place to suit your car. New ones are supplied with the fasteners, but not fitted with them. I found the Moss supplied one was too small to fit my TR, but one from Rimmers was ok. Bob

Definitely a later engine. The dates sound right my TR3 TS9551 was made late 1955, but 1st registered early 1956. Bob

I was enjoying the wall of death shot !

Once you try it, there's no going back ! Bob

The higher position of the LTD peg was done when the solid skirt sidescreens were introduced. Bob

If it's anything like mine, I had the same, probably through over greasing, once the grease breaks through, the seal is permanantly deformed, & the grease just keeps on commin' I went through 2 or 3 "clean it up & hope for the best" cycles before biting the bullet & replacing the seals on both sides. I did not pull the halfshaft, & did not change the inner seals (between diff, & wheel bearing. All well now. (fingers crossed) Bob
