[TR] TR3A Front cowl letter placement

[A Daniel Cronin]

Moss catalog shows the hole patterns for post and pre TS60000 TR's, but
unfortunately it's not to scale!

I'm
TS76120L  it's not the original cowl but one that was obtained from
the
dealer
about 1973 or 74.  The original letters were used in the new
cowl, I
don't
know if they were predrilled or not ,, too long ago.B 

==AM==
With the cars
then over 10 years out of production, I would assume that
any factory
replacement aprons would NOT have been predrilled. But that
late a car I think
I'd expect to have smooth letters from new.

Meanwhile, Randall noted: "Bill
Piggott gives the change point as
'approximately' TS72000."

And that seems
plausible. Unfortunately, the one TR3A I still have
can't be used to judge.
TS73624L -- built 4/15/60 -- had a "nondrilled"
replacement front apron (and
subsequent additional damage to it and the
right fender, all nicely brazed
together and "Bondo'd" over) by the
time I got it around 1973 or 1974!

so  much of a jet, it's more your, er,
Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
