On the subject of scatter shields, I have one of Jack Drews aluminum scatter
shields that we did not use, our old one was adapted to fit with the new
motor mounts. The scatter shield is for a TR4. It may fit a TR3 but I
don't know. There was a photo of this on Tony Drews website. This scatter
shield is now for sale. Anyone interested, please contact me off list.
Thanks.
