[TR] TR3 grill molding

[A Daniel Cronin]

You might look at early 70's VW Bugs for possible chrome grill clip match or
close to it on the rear window trim and perhaps other locations.

My 1956 TR3 when purchased in 1975, had the grill
surround but was 
missing the two joiner clips.  I went to a wrecking yard and
looked 
for windshield join clips that were of a similar size and shape,
found two - I don't recall on what and used slotted pan-head screws 
to mount
them.

Jump forward 30+ years and a friend who in the late 1980's ran TRF
Canada out of Niagara Falls Ontario, gave me a couple of boxes of 
stuff he'd
collected to redo his 1956 TR3 - now long gone.  Included 
was the complete
grill surround with joiners and clips.  I can 
probably dig these out and
supply pics if you think this would be useful.

Cheers,

Brian
