Hi Jack,
RevingtonTR sells an adjustable inner fulcrum pin. I have one on my TR3 =
and I know of a few others that use it as well. No cutting and or =
welding is needed.=20
It has been suggested that keeping the upper arms long is beneficial.

Subject: [Fot] TR3 front end conversion to TR6 parts: Camber - moving =

I am hoping to upgrade the front suspension on my (street/AutoX) TR3 =
this summer by changing out the upper A-arm, vertical link and trunnion =
to TR6 parts. I will use =E2=80=9Cthe=E2=80=9D Jag ball joint and shim =
it as required. Due to the complexity of shortening the upper A-arm or =
moving the inner pivot point inward, I am considering welding an =
extension to the upper A-Arm ball joint mounting tabs on the inside to =
mount the ball joint further inward and produce a similar result to =
shortening the A-arm. I have not removed my TR3 A-Arms yet, but it =
appears there is room to move the ball joint inward at least an inch in =
this way. I know I can=E2=80=99t go as far as those of you who have =
shortened the upper arms, but it seems like it could be a decent =
compromise. I am concerned though, as this seems too easy. None of you =
guys have done it. Instead you have shortening the upper arms which, =
from what I have read, is challenging, as is moving the inner pivot =
point and retaining substantial structure.
=20
So, the question is. . . . . . . Why is simply moving the ball joint =
further inboard not a good solution? What am I missing?
=20
Thanks in advance,
=20
Jack
