This has always seemed to me like an unnecessary amount of trouble to go
to, especially since it will diminish the value of a classic like a TR2.
Certainly they handle like trucks with the original steering, but they
are what they are.
If I were going to do major mods like this on a sidecurtained TR, I'd
probably start with a TR3A, to take advantage of the disk brakes, and
then go all out (four-syncro O/D gearbox, electric fan, alternator
conversion, negative ground conversion, etc.) Of course this would
totally bugger the TR3 as a collectable, but at least they made 75,000
or so and they're fairly common, as opposed to the TR2's run of about
8,600 total built.
