The wire from the steering column should connect to the wire going over to the left side, & also to the "L" terminal of the flasher unit.
the wire going to the left is for left hand drive cars, & does nothing on yours. The loom was designed to be good for RHD, & LHD cars.

+1, I use a 3HP / 50 ltr Sealey unit, It has done all I asked it to for many years.
A quick look, & this one seems good value:

The diagram above is not of your regulator, as said above there are no fuses inside.
Ok, looking at the wiring diagram, A is connected direct to the ammeter, & the other side of the ammeter is connected to the battery. That suggests that the car should still be charging ?
A1 goes to the lighting switch, & ignition switch. Neither circuit is fused, only after igniton switch is anything fused.
Conclusion is that the shortout caused a large current to flow from battery, through the ammeter, through the A to A1 coil in the regulator, then to the shorted wire. result was the internal coil burning out, or somehow becoming disconnected inside the regulator.

If "A" has 12V, & "A1" has 0V, then, yes the regulator is damaged, the two should be connected inside via a coil of a few turns of quite thick wire.
"D" is a thick wire going to the output of the dynamo, "F" is a thinner wire going to the field winding of the dynamo. "E" goes to earth (chassis). "A" & "A1" both are wired into the other parts of the loom (fused or otherwise) both should always have 12V (approx) on them, as they are connected to the battery via the ammeter.

Or, Simply raise the rear of the car on axle stands. less work than disconnecting the propshaft ?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

This sort can easily be fitted inside the TR3- 3A overdrive switch housing

These photos are of a center biased two way switch, but the single way biased switch above will fit just the same.

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.

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

I suspect you have damaged the flasher unit, by accidentaly shorting the bulb contacts together. the bulb is driven by a small transistor.
I can easily replace this for you, (I blew one myself a while ago by testing the unit with too high a wattage bulb)
Bob.
PS. If you like, I can send you a replacement unit,( I have a spare one) then you send me yours, I repair it, & keep it for stock
Just cost you the postage.
I know yours is -ve earth.
