[TR] [6pack] Wing or Side Fender Vents

[Mark Hooper]

Hi Frank:

I'm up in Montreal, where we are more hidebound. However, I was under the
impression that any change to the safety equipment of a vehicle would mean it
had to be inspected as a new custom machine; and that would mean complete
adherence to modern standards. Of course, I could be way off base.

As noted by another lister, it's possible that you can just swap it out and
hope that nobody stops you on the road and gives out one of those 48-hour
tickets.

Cheers,

Mark

i didn't think it was illegal to have no front bumper.
im running my TR3 with no bumper, cos i don't own one yet.
but then im in California where one can run with open wheels

That's a nice look. Question - How does one get street papers for a car with
the original bumper removed? In most places I have heard of that would be a
no-no. The picture makes it seem that the car was driven to the location it
was at.

Here is a TR4 with those vents installed. I liked this TR so much I may have
drooled on it.

Do you have a link to a picture of these vents?

I am looking for a set of the chrome grill vents that many of the Rally TR
4's used.  As I recall they were slightly squarish in size and had a large
checker board grill affect.  The idea being to let some of the engine bay
heat be carried out through the side wings or fenders.  The fit flush with
the side of the fender or wing and extend inward into the engine bay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Gary
