[TR] L means what?

[wbeech]

Notice that there is a spacer on the right-hand spring, to add a little
extra tension presuming the car is driven without a passenger most of the
time.  Maybe, even for a little torque compensation??

Randall:

Are you sure the springs on a TR3 are "handed" ? They do not have separate
part numbers and come (from Moss at least) as a pair with no indication of
sidedness.

I guess it depends on the definition of "chassis".  To me, the steering box
is part of the chassis, and obviously it's different between LHD and RHD.
The rear springs were also 'handed', assembled to the frame differently
depending on whether the resulting car was LHD or RHD.
