[TR] BOOK: 'More BS About TR's'

[Ibsen Dow]

I too met Bob S. over 20 years ago at Triumphest in So Cal. Bob was explaining
to me how he converted his worm gear steering box to rack & pinion on his TR3
and how easy it would be to convert mine over to rack & pinion.
He gave me one of his original books so that I may have a reference.
Bob was always ready to give a hand or information to fellow Triumph owners.
He has been truly missed.

  I first met Bob more than 20 years ago when he drove across country from AZ
  to OH to attend the TRA National.  He drove the distance in his TR3A pulling
  his TRailer (made out of the back half of a TR3).  As I recall he had cut a
  large hole in the 3's grill to improve air flow to the radiator and oil
  cooler -- doing the modification roadside somewhere in Texas (it was a hot
  June).

  He also did some tech sessions at that TRA including one on overheating from
  which I took away many ideas that I still use now that I am in the desert.

  Before we had the internet and great lists like this, it was guys like Bob
  who did a lot to keep the hobby alive.
