As Tony has basically said, the answer is "it depends", but either way it's
not difficult. Mine TR3A also had the holes pre-drilled and threaded, with
bolts in them, to accept the original factory Triumph screens, which are
taller than the Brooklands ones. Mine had the holes and bolts there only
because the factory stopped doing this in I think 1959 and mine was built in
'57.
Even if yours is a later car with no holes/bolts, etc., all you really have
to do, as far as I am aware, is drill the holes and install them. It'll be
a bit trickier than an earlier car because you'll have to get under the
dash to get the nuts on the bolts.
If yours is an earlier car with the mountings installed at the factory, and
if you want to fit Brooklands screens to it (and not the Triumph factory
ones), you'll need a conversion kit so that the Brooklands screens will
install using the factory holes.
Incidentally, I have them installed on my car and I notice no difference
whatsoever in terms of wind when driving. They are worse in rain, however.

How difficult is it to fit a set of Brooklands wind screens to a TR3?
