Strangest clunk I ever chased turned out to be in the brakes. The rear
brakes on some early TR3As didn't have hold-down springs, but rather
adjustable posts for the shoes to rest against. Not sure if the posts were
just badly worn, or if some DPO had mis-adjusted them, but the shoes were
not parallel to the drums. When the brakes were applied, the shoes would
move out away from the posts, then fall back with a clunk.
As I recall, the posts were also some flavor of Whitworth threads, and ran
in nuts welded to the backing plates.
