Maybe this will help someone, maybe not. May be this is documented
somewhere, maybe not. If you are assembling a TR3A, assemble the handbrake
BEFORE
putting on the exhaust system. The pivot bolt has a nyloc jam nut that sits
just enough behind the exhaust to really tick you off. I had the front of the
car on jack stands and so. . .when the jam nut slipped from my aging and not
so nimble fingers, it rolled inside the chassis, where, by the way, it will
live for the rest of its days. Let it be known that anyone riding with me who
asks if I hear a rattle, will be responded to in a rude manner.
Red locktite it is. I would rather have the handbrake lever come off in my
hand and go careening off a cliff than remove that exhaust system at this
stage.
