Having just done this, I need hardly emphasize how important the exercise is.  
The book "How to restore Triumph TR2/3" is very helpful.

I made braces for each door, which effectively secure the "A" and "B" posts:  
don't know where you live, but if you are anywhere near Mass, you are welcome 
to borrow them.

One more tip:  I had to replace a B post on the driver's side and the 
replacement part was significantly deeper (inside to outside measurement) than 
the original.  It literally took days to get it right.

Good luck !

Andrew
