Guest Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hello again chaps, i wonder if any one can help with a picture of a post TS-6000 peddle box blanking plate, my car is a TS-76000, and the peddle box blanking plate on mine was just a flat off-cut of steel cobbled together by a previous owner, i know that they differ between models with the pressing. and yes i know i could buy one but as i can move steel i thought i would give it a go.

Lebro Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 I did not think that the later (60000+) cars had the blanking plate ? Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 from what i have noticed on many cars It would seem that some have both sides cut out and some cars have just one side cut out depending on if they are RHD or LHD, mine had both cut on the production line i assume that it was done just in case the factory changed the market it was intended for, though please do correct me if i am wrong before needlessly make a new panel.

stuart Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 You will find a lot of post 60k and a seemingly larger proportion of L/hand drive cars only have the cut outs on one side only. Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Vincent Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 my post 60K TR3a was LHD and only had the cut out on the LHS. When I converted it, I had to cut the apertures on the RHS and weld in the captive nuts that hold the pedal box.. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 My ’59 3A (TS 514xx) was LHD when I bought it. To convert to RHD I had to cut out the aperture myself. Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Ah well , some 30 something years ago, just to be different from everybody else, I converted my rhd 3A to lhd. Lucky for me it had the lh blanking plate in place. TS 613** if you're interested james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 To join the party. VHP529 was an export spec Nov 57 TR3a, taken from the production line on Nov 5 th and converted to Rhd by the competitions department. Back on the road and being used for testing on 12 Nov, with a very different specification. TS23***. VHP has both cut outs. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if this is of any help to you? Regards ~ Tom. Coo look, a Dolomite Sprint expansion tank I think. Unless you know differently... That is precisely where I wanted to fix mine, but it ended up on the inner wing opposite the distributor, next to the relocated coil.

Guest Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Great contributions fellas thanks for all the feedback, i will make the blank plate rather than weld up the holes, hopefully it will look ok but you never know, i will pop a picture on this link when done.

Lebro Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Why not try to find a second hand one, The TR shop would probably have them, they have quite a large stock of S/H panels etc. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 They are around like Bob says, TR Bitz or TR Trader may also be a source. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
