Darrell---those small (2"=/-) wood blocks go on the "elbow rail" right next to
the capping piece that has the semi "S" curve above the "dog leg".  One of
the two short pieces of the rear capping mount over them.  You might be able
to see this in the service manual (body) or the parts manual where
instructions for mounting the hardtop are found.  Good luck!

The Ole Lady is Done! Name the Parts

Hey Listers,
Just came back from Classic
Restorations and after 2 years my Powder Blue  
TR3B is done.  Well, just a
few items left like paint on the Bonnet, but  done 
enough that she will be
ready for the 08 VTR NATC in Michigan.  No  small task 
here for if you
remember she was supposed to be done for last year's  VTR in 
Valley Forge.
Takes time for a frame off total rebuild even when you  start 
with a good
car, she was a former TRA Best in Show & VTR  Preservation class 
example.

I
took her for a spin, really w/o the bonnet and all is well as she ran  like
never before, smooth as silk. The OD gearbox is even holding oil  thanks to
the new adaptor plate recommended by several Listers, THANKS! I had 
everything 
you need: Fuel---Positive Amps---Oil Pressure---185 Temperature.
Life  is 
Good!

Just one more thing, Terry showed me these two little wooden
blocks.  They 
have one hole drilled in them which is countersunk for a
holding  screw.  They 
have one rounded edge and a little Powder Blue over
spray on  them.  Where the 
heck do these go?
Thanks,
Darrell
