Well, after nearly 3 years of restoration work Saturday was the first that I
drove my TR3A out of the neighbourhood.
Wow.
Saturday morning... zero degrees C.... sunny.... no traffic.... top on.....
no sidecurtains..... 80 MPH. Wow. Wow.
Seems like the brakes need more bleedin' because I had to pump once for each
stop.
I haven't installed wing mirrors yet but I think that I am going to need
them.
When I switch in OD the car seems to "kick" from the sudden ratio change.
Is that to be expected?
Steering requires a lot of effort especially with "195 wide" tires. Maybe I
should revisit the Rack and Pinion concept.
The turn signals do not self cancel because the steering head revolves which
I am told should remain stationary.
I have yet to get a straight answer why the head and the stator tube do not
fit into each other.
Has anyone seen pix or drawings of the different types?
See ya.

60 TR3A TS71864LO
PS what is the significance of the "L" in the Comm number?
