foster461 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Stuart is working on one at the moment I think. I assume the customer will get a discount for the missing clip on the diff cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Resurrecting this issue; these photos are very useful to me as I put in an Automec copper brake pipe system into a Tr3 (HGB1011) that was stripped out 25+ years ago, and not by me! These mid and rear photos are very helpful. Does anyone have any photos of the pipework routing around each front wheel / suspension turret / chassis area? Many thanks in advance.

TonyBS Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Thanks Stuart. Yes, a great help. I can now see where the copper pipe runs end, the lug that anchors the pipe to the chassis, and the beginning of the flexible link to each calliper. I was confused by the lugs on the rear body curve of the suspension turrets - each has a 1/2" or so size hole - what are they for? Located about 2" forward and above of each brake pipe union. You can see your n/s lug more clearly than the o/s.. Thanks also for confirming your new petrol line feed and its yellow protective cap. Are you going to fit an original pull/push petrol cut off tap? Ive tried several from Moss but never got that (lovely iconic) brass fitting to be petrol tight. I currently have a rally type lever valve on my '56 TR3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The large hole brackets are for earlier Lockheed pipe fittings. Thats an Italia chassis and they were never fitted with shut off taps. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
