EdwinTiben Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I known its a Very Very loooong shot... But keep asking youll never know... And because most of the tr-owners dislike them : is there Anyone with a set or knows someone willing to part ? Even 1 would be helpful as template. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fireman049 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hi Edwin ~ I certainly like the wheel spats but as my 3A is fitted with wire wheels they're out of the question unfortunately! If wheel spats were good enough for Jaguar cars then they were certainly good enough for TR's. Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
setron Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 You bet me to it Edwin!, they are going to be my project for next year. There was someone over in the States who had some on eBay, and there are some drawings around on the net. I have a friend few hours drive away who has a pair on his Tr3 when I get a chance I'll get some photos. How's the cockpit coming along are you? cheers Shane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EdwinTiben Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hi shane, currently discussing the details with my welder! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deggers Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) As Shane suggests above, there seem to be quite a few pictures available if you were looking to tailor a pair specifically to your own rear wings. Didn't RevingtonTR used to stock these? Cheers, Deggers Edited November 28, 2018 by Deggers Picture size reduced Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 There was a pair for sale on eBay in 2011 that claimed to have come from TRF. I saved that eBay ad and pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roger murray-evans Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Edwin, Sorry I can't help with sourcing originals.Those that I have are the only ones I've ever seen in the flesh, and they were originally fitted to the then TR Kent group leader's (Ken Lancaster) 1958 TR3A. (from new as I remember) The car passed to another Kent TR disciple, Swiss national Max Schlaepfer, who, bless him, like a lot of philistines, couldn't stand them and wanted wire wheels fitted so.... As i might have bored this forum before.... he gave them to me on my 21st birthday (45 years ago!) but I never got to fit them to any of my previous half dozen TRs. I have now rectified the situation, but as the fittings remained on the 3A and they are not available, copies were made from the various drawings available by my talented body man.I did try Glenn at Protek but never got a response. Like a lot of folk, I also rather like wire wheels, so I'm configuring my car so as to allow the use of either wire or steel wheels. (spacers and bolt on adapters). If you do end up having to have a set made (I'm sure an original pair will turn up on Ebay eventually, everything does!), I'm sure I can help with dimensions and profliles. Good luck with the search! Roger M-E ps. Can anyone tell me how to stop the double spacing scrolling (as above)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
