TRier Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 These are from a TR5/6 rather than a 3 but same principles of course. I didnt have to do any body work with my TR3A, mechanical works only, which I guess is why I'm driving it rather than working on it! These are the panels that brace the wheel tubs to the bulkhead, I made three as I've two rotten on my 5 and one on a 6, got better with each one as always. Used the fancy brake press here, might give you a laugh. Clamped assembly.mp4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Metal former made for flute work. Yes I agree very therapeutic and satisfying Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you’ve put that assembly back on I’d be interested to see how you approached getting it all nicely aligned. Niall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Self tappers are your friend here. Just keep moving things slightly around and you get there eventually. Time is yours and you can afford to play as much as you want. I assemble all parts up using self tappers and only hit the welder once happy with the fit. Regards Harry. .

Z320 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi, with my gearbox tunnel I noticed it is always good to make a wooden model or "helper" to get the shape What I also notice, I need too much time for this and sheet metal and me will not become friends.... Respect for everybody who has the skilles - and tools to work with it. Ciao, Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
