[TR] TR3 front apron

[Bill & AnnaBelle]

This may be "heresy" , but when we last removed the front apron on 
Casper (TR3), I was tired of fooling with the fender bead, and those 
pesky tabs.  Sooo we took a very small drill, and some matching small 
screws, and screwed those tabs in place.  The screws are "invisible", 
and they keep everything aligned, and out of the way  ...  Just a 
thought for the thinkers ...


>Removal is very straight forward.  Just make sure you get all the bolts.  Then
>with a helper lift it out by the cross brace above the radiator.

>Installation can be more tedious.  You have to get your fender beads seated.
>I work from top to bottom tightening bolts as I go.  I have a problem with the
>lower lip aligning with the fenders.  So I have moved my bumper brackets to
>their rear position.  Now I install the bumper bolts over large washers and
>tighten them.  This pulls the lip of the apron into alignment with the
>fenders.  I finish tightening all the bolts and it is done.
