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.
