One thing to remember on all this is that the spare tire
compartment was larger on later TR3s. I don't remember
where the change was but I think Piggott mentions it in
one of his books. I think the change was around TS60000
or maybe it was TS50000. I might be nice if people would
include their car's commission number when suggesting
something which works for them.
