[TR] TR3 coach handle

[wbeech]

TRA judging guide says there may be a slight variation in length but all
have a straight grip section, "...not dogbone like.  Finish is natural
metal."

I just bought the other one off of eBay, from the same guy, I'll see how
good it is when it gets here. ;-)

Good point about the deep spare tire key hole and the short eBay tool.

Anyway, Roadster Factory's key is half the price of that eBay one and looks
to be the correct length.  Charles is pretty good about that sort of thing
-- I bet he'd warn in the catalog if the key he sells wasn't right.
