I used Dzus fastners from Revington TR for the same purpose on my 57 TR3 and they worked. First i had som fastners from another supplier, which were far too soft. Pay a bit more and get something that is working.

Hello
In connection with the overhaul of my TR3A cylinder head there is a need to replace the pushrod tubes. I have purchased 8 new pushrod tubes which was of the aluminium type (p/n 100792), but they are very difficult to fit. I have read that Triumph in some cases used steel pushrod tubes on later models ?
Do anybody know where I can buy the steel type of the pushrod tubes for this engine ?

Hood Frame Dimension:
Hello, do any one have experience with installing the hood frame to the TR3. I notice there are so many different dimensions between the frames. I have looked at 3 different frames and the dimension between the installation brackets goes from 109 cm, 110 cm and the largest dimension is 112 cm.
Do anybody know what the ideal dimension should be ? And if it is to large between the mounting points can you just press it together and squeze it in ? Will the round tubes on the frame collapse or it becomes difficult to operate.
Regards

Do you have an old motor? Does it work at all? I used to do an exchange service on these so may be able to help.

Hello Peter W
it's a couple of years gone, but I'm about to install the heater since I'm getting close to have the car on the road.
Do you repair the Smith's heater fan motors ?
I live in Norway, but travel frequently to UK (Somerset) so I can bring it over and ship from there.

Hi
some years ago I got a scheme of paint and trim materials for TR2/TR3/TR3A from the TR Register. The scheme was an extract from TR Action no. 33.
Unfortunately, nobody can help me to find a convertion table telling what the old paint specification number will be equivalent to an existing paint code.
I want to have my 1958 TR3A Signal Red as original as possible. Can anybody tell me which paint manufacturer and paintcode is the nearest to the original Signal Red from 1958.
I've been working on the car for years (ashamed to say how many) so I can hardly wait to get the body and panels painted.

TR3A Cylinder Head Pushrod Tubes in steel
in TR2/3/3A/3B Forum

The engine hasn't runned for the last 30 years or so and both engine and cylinder head looked really bad. I delivered the cylinder head to an engine work shop to have it overhauled and they started the cleaning process by dipping it in an acid bath. And, of course, things went wrong for the aluminum tubes.
