Kevin, YES I would appriciate this VERY much. I do not need pictures. But your
observation on the accelerator peddle assembly linkage and any obsetvetions on
the resevour would be very much appriciated.
I believe the banjo bolt and vent has remaind the same through out the TR2-3
production.
Is the unrestored TR3A pre ot post TS60000? They changed a number of things &
moved some about at that time. Mine is TS75519.
Thanks for your help,
TeriAnn
