Early TR2 Rear lights and thermostat TS70L

Thanks, that will help a few of us! Mike -
I would encourage folks who require a set to get in the queue. These are well-made and otherwise NLA. I purchased mine in 2015 and highly recommend them. Mike.

Hi Peter, Put me down for 2 pairs if you don't mind. Great job! Thanks, Mike

Glad to hear of the progress. I look forward to the final result. Mike

Dan, That looks a bit rough. I believe the housing is an aluminum casting which has undergone some significant electrostatic deterioration. If the sealing surfaces are too thin you may be in for a challenge. (see 12 o'clock in the first photo). At least there is an option once the SDF thermostat housings become available, I am in the queue! Mike

Met Don at the TRA meeting in Ohio in 2004. He arrived solo that time and allowed my father to ride with him on one of the driving tours. This helped get the ball rolling on our own restoration. He and my Dad had a great chat as they both were original owners in the late 50's albeit Don managed to hold onto his car! As mentioned, Don was always helpful with tips, etc. He also travelled widely in North America with a tent and sleeping bag at the ready! Condolences to his family, Michael K

Thanks everyone, figured there could be a "bit of history' associated with the 62 year old panel, but I was curious regarding others experience. Once again Agent Pringle comes thru, now it is his time. All the best Alec. Mike

I recently was able to compare the fit of rear tire doors on an NOS Stanpart TR3A rear valance. The TR3 door I have fit perfectly in size and contour. When I placed the early aluminum TR2 door in the opening it sat proud on either end where the locks are located. The door otherwise was the correct size, but clearly the profile is flatter across it versus the later door. I presume this reflects the different contours of the TR2 thru early TR3 valance versus the later version with the plinths? Just thought I would throw that out for what it is worth. Any comments from previous experience? How ab
