[TR] TR3A Side curtain mounts

[Steve Ball]

Just remove the door.
You'd solve the sidecurtain fastener problem, and think of the extra A/C you'd
get.


Aargh...I should have saved that one for April Fools Day.

How about duct taping a piece of foam rubber to your leg. At least that way
the car remains original; can't say as much for the driver, though.

Subject: [TR] TR3A Side curtain mounts

I have owned this 1960 TR3A for a little over 5 years and because I live in
Phoenix the Side curtains and the top have been wrapped in thick towels &
stored under a bed.  I only remember which bed at this point because I had to
move the top to find some Christmas decorations.  :-)

My question is has any one made an insert or a cover for the side curtain
attach point at the front of the door.  When ever I am cruising I pull my
left
leg up & lean it on the front of the door & that attachi point digs right
into
the side of my knee.

I was thinking about making up a small padded piece that will fit in the
bottom notch & attach to the door with a Dzus fastener.

Any advice
