Ever since I read the account of the TR3 that 'snagged' a too high railroad
track that it was crossing, I sought to install skid plate hopefully to
prevent this on my car. I also work in a RR track area.
I fashioned a 1/4" plate of steel to go about two inches forward of the
radiator and running back over a foot in length until it lips over the forward
crossmember. The width of it extends between the car's rails.
It runs about 1/2" below the radiator. I am installing an electric fan.
I've yet to have my TR3 roadworthy, however, I'd like to ask a question about
this homemade 'skip plate'. Is it going to block a sufficient amount of air?
Are there other problems with this idea?
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
60 TR3
