angelfj Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 In the photo shown below, can the assembly shown,(plunger, spring, bracket and other bits)be attached to the apron/cross brace AFTER the apron is in place? We are not sure of the attachment details because the parts manual does not illustrate this later arrangement. Only the early TR2 is shown. Cheers, Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 It can Frank but very hard to fix the screws underneath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
angelfj Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 It can Frank but very hard to fix the screws underneath Thanks Neil! So on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best, where would you rank the job? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Menno van Rij Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Best be careful here, Frank. As said, it's hard to fix the screws underneath. But there's somehting else you should observe also: the two bolt heads on the hook device attached to the bonnet. This hook device can be moved forward and backwards a little. If the space (gap) between the apron and the front of the bonnet is too close, and the hook plate is positioned too far forward, the prementioned bolt heads will touch /scrape the inner lip of the Apron, scraping off the paint from the inner lip on the very first trial fit!

pfenlon Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 They are both right Frank, but it isnt too difficult if you are using the original holes, it is only a bit awkward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vivdownunder Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Frank, the two vertical bolts that hold the "screwed on" brackets and the plunger need to be left slightly loose. This allows the brackets to be wiggled to align the underside screw holes. Leave the two apron rail horizontal fixing bolts loose too. Align the screw holes with a mirror. Fit the 4 x screws then tighten the 4 x bolts (easier with the LH horn off). I use phillips head screws as they are easier to offer up in a magnetic screwdriver. Regards, Viv.
