[Fot] TR6 piece between radiator and motor

[fubog1 at aol.com]

Yes Kas I can appreciate the rules limitations back in "the day", and 
no doubt that bending the chassis can and will change camber, but I 
just can't see any good reason to do that today, especially on a later 
TR with adjustable camber.
Just my opinion of course...

In the days of no allowances for "A" arm mods and ball joint changes it
worked just SWELL. You don't really think there is any tensional 
rigidity in
a TR 3-4 frame do you?
