[Fot] TR3 to TR6 front brake interchange parts and info request

[Larry Young]

  I contemplated this change on my TR3, but decided against it based on 
advice from one of the FoT.  When you compare the brake pads, you will 
notice the TR3 pad is significantly larger.  More pad means better 
stopping power.  I think that is more important than weight.  Besides, 
your conscience will feel better because you will be pure TR3.

Will the TR6 carrier bolt to the TR3 upright? If not I'll need the 6 upright and steering arm as well. Can anyone share some info on this change? I'll also be needing to purchase the parts for the change other than the calipers and discs. Does anyone have them available? This change has been recommended to me as a vintage legal option. I noticed about a 5 pound weight savings per side in the calipers alone. It seems like a good change to me. Also does anyone know of the difference between the earlier and later TR6 calipers. The earlier version is referred as a 16P.
