[TR] TR3 Rear Apron & Bumperette mounting

[Ed Woods]

Bill,

If you're speaking about the heavy metal tube immediately surrounding the 
bolt, it was not originally welded. When I reassembled my TR3, I installed 
that tube with heavy grease or never seize so that it would not rust to the 
rear apron. The rear apron itself has a partial metal tube of sheet metal 
into which this heavy walled tube and bolt fit.  One end of this tube rests 
solidly against the frame, the other establishes the position of the 
bumperette mounting bracket, so the tube must be of the proper length.
