[TR] TR3 shroud

[Andrew Uprichard]

I still find my TR3 difficult to start after driving on a hot day.  The idea
that a shroud may be restricting air flow to the rest of the engine bay is
intriguing.  What is the consensus of the list as to the value of a shroud?
How many people use them versus not?

Speaking of catching up...

Get some dryer duct tubing and make a guide to vent some air from the 
shroud to the carburetter bowls.  Then drive somewhere where it's hot.  
Go inside, have a 15-minute beer.  Then come back out and see if it starts.
