[Fot] Wheels

[Duncan Charlton]

Dave, you mentioned what was on my mind — it’s been decades since I owned a TR3 but I did restore a ’56 and my recollection is that there is just a rolled edge with a wire in it on a TR3, not folded metal that will push out of the way.

It's best to have a pro do the rolling before painting with a wire in the roll.
