TR2 - 3 under wing protectors.

[Phil Read]

I have fit underwing protectors to my TR4A. Having finished the body restoration on my 3A I was wondering, in the absence of manufactured items,  if anyone had fit any underwing protection to TR2s or 3s?

As far as I know none exist.

Phil,

When I took my 3A apart in the mid 80’s I took the wings off and removed all the paint to bare metal inside and out. I then put a couple of layers of fiberglass on the inside.

Some people may say it’s a bit extreme, but I think it gives good protection. You do need rough clean metal and you need to fit the wings back on the car within a couple of days because once the fiberglass has cured fully it will not move. If you leave the wings off, leaning against the garage wall they may get a slight twist and the set that way forever when the fiberglass is solid.

Saying that I left my wings off for 30+ years and they still fitted OK

Charlie.

Hi Folks,

here are some well made DIY liners.  Started life as TRailer wheel mudguards.

Don't like the idea of them, too many areas for mud/leaves to collect and not dry out.  Cheers Bill.
