[TR] Z 28 TR3 Frame

[wbeech]

Close but not quite, Carl.  The TR3 frame was used for production of the
TR3b & early TR4 until the TR3b was gone.  The 4" differential in width was
accommodated by bolting 2" plates to extend the tubular outriggers on the
TR3 frame.  Post TR3b, the TR4 then went to its own frame that was the
proper one for the car.

Question:  Does anyone know the commission number of this change?

That's very interesting Tom..
Hey TR folks - didn't TRIUMPH decide after developing the TR4 to continue
making the TR3a (due to popular demand) as a TR3b? And wasn't that TR3b 4"
wide r, hence the TR3b frame identifier: 'C minus 1'  ? ;-) Carl

FYI
I have C-1 on a late tr3b
