AJ2014 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) All Could anyone confirm if a 1955 TR2 would have had a strengthener bar originally installed? This is from the boot floor (middle/rear) to the inner top edge of the rear valance drain channel. I can't see it in any of the parts catalogues. My car was fitted with a later TR3a rear valance when I purchased it and also fitted with a strengthener, I am trying to put it back to original. Any help gratefully received Cheers Ade Edited September 26, 2017 by AJ2014 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fireman049 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I think the rear valance strengthening bar is essential to reinforce the valance. The strengthening bar on the 3A is far more substantial than the one on the TR2. Tom. Edited September 28, 2017 by Fireman049 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ2014 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks to all for your responses, very much appreciated. Could anyone supply measurements for said strengthening bar on a TR2 please? I think the metal is 'C' shaped with the open side of the 'C' to the rear (if that makes sense Regards Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
