<< I've got two TR3 body tubs sitting outside (parts of anyway!) that are 
 comm # TS41311L TS53523L.  There is one very noticeable difference 
 between the two tubs.  On the earlier tub on the right side the cut out is 
 there for the RHD brake/clutch assembly with a bolted on cover plate.  
 Whereas on the later tub this cut out is not present.  Looking through Bill 
 Piggotts books I can't seem to find any reference to this.  
 
 Was there a change point for the cut out no longer being provided or was it 
 just put in at random throughout the range of TR3's?  
 
 TIA >>
My 58 has the cutout and plate and my 62 doesn't have it. I was under the
impression that the cutout was discontinued both sides somewhere post TS60000.
Does your TS53000 body have the sloping rear seat or a shelf? If it has the
shelf it is probably not the original body. 
This is in the new book somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look it up!
