[TR] tr3 Radiator

[Frank Fisher]

thanks 
the motor was rebuilt 4 years ago. probably only 5/6K miles on it, so
its all good.
brand new radiator installed at the re-build. leaked at the neck
almost immediately we started to run the car. probably sprung a leak in the
first 250 miles.

choice not to pull front apron is not mine to make.

still
wondering if anyone has been successful at pulling it as i described.

pondered that when I did mine as the apron had never been off in 30+ years and
the paint was decent.  I am even able to remove the fan on my TR3A with the
radiator in place -- but I decided to pull the apron and was glad I did. 
Pretty easy even working solo, certainly much simpler than the removals you
list.

Also a prime opportunity to renew the front seal & timing chain
tensioner if need be.
