[TR] TR3 tight steering and decals

[Frank Fisher]

done the lock screw on top of the box thing.
it is certainly "stiffer" than my
TR3, my buddy Paul's TR3 and the TR3 that i 
drove belonging to a club member.
it does not even show any signs of straighting out from a turn. if fact its a
good pull to get it straight.
its way too stiff

TR3 recently rebuilt has very tight steering. 

I would start by adjusting
that lock screw fitting on the top of the box that 
controls how deep the peg
enters the cam -- sounds like it may have been 
overtightened.  Should steer
very very easily with the wheels up.  After you 
loosen then adjust tighter
usually the first sign of binding will occur at the 
extremes of turning (less
wear there) you do not want any binding.  I can't say 
my TR3A strsightens out
smartly coming out of a turn -- it wants to go straight 
but the wheel doesn't
return quickly on its own.  Don't know if that is typical.

he also has a
windshield decal from when he

Whatever you do try -- I would first take a really good high
resolution digital 
photo of it -- then if it is ruined in the attempt you can
easily get a new one 
made.
