TR 3 stone guards For the last 2 years I have been immersed in trying to make myself into a reasonable facsimile of a British panelbeater. These aluminum panels would be a good beginners project. To make them you would make patterns to cut the metal to and contour patterns to get the right amount of curve in the panel. The panel is shaped with a wood mallet and sandbag then planished or smoothed out either by hand or on an English wheel. I guess .050 or .063 metal would work. If you interested you can go to youtube to pick up basic skills working with a hammer and dolly. Sounds like a fun project!

The Loctite website for threadlocker red (271) "It is only removable once
cured by heating up parts to 500 F".
Which is udder rubbish. I use it quite a bit and have never had to heat
parts to remove them. I have found that it is stronger the loctite blue
(242) but not by a whole heck of a lot. In theory a thorough cleaning
should improve performance; however, I haven't noticed any great
improvement. When in doubt I always use a NEW distorted / deformed lock nut.

The specs vary all over the place, depending on things like whether the threads are cad plated or not. But if you dig in to the
TDS, the maximum difference (for an unplated 3/8" NC bolt) is only about 12 ft-lb:
http://www.loctiteproducts.com/tds/T_LKR_BLUE_tds.pdf
https://tds.us.henkel.com/NA/UT/HNAUTTDS.nsf/web/B25C9259A14B047E882571870000D61E/$File/271-EN.pdf
The difference becomes even smaller if you take into account the long term performance of 271 (red) vs 243 ("oil resistant" blue)
under both exposure to oil (271 loses 25% of its strength over 1000 hours; 243 actually gains about 15%); and operation at 100C (a
typical engine temperature) where again 271 loses strength and 243 does not.
https://tds.us.henkel.com/NA/UT/HNAUTTDS.nsf/web/96FA02BC2AE06C5E85257E49004D92EA/$File/243-EN.pdf
243 is also supposedly more tolerant of minor contamination of the threads. Since no one will ever mistake my garage for a clean
room, that seems like a big plus to me.

I don't know about others, but my experience with the aftermarket TR3 stone
guards (especially the large ones which fit over the rear fenders) has been
very disappointing. Badly made and frustratingly hard to fit. So when I
started the latest restoration on a CA car with minimal rust (lots of other
problems, but rust wasn't one of them !) I decided I would try to salvage
the stone guards. They were heavily pitted and dented and I thought I was
wasting my time, but I started off hammering out the dents and then I used a
grinder to level all the pits and scratches. I followed with 80 grit, then
150, 320 and 600. Then aluminum polish and finally a good waxing. I have
to say, the end result was really good - and they fit !
Having said that, I guess I spent most of a day on the 2 large guards, so
this approach would make little sense for a restoration shop or someone
charging by the hour. But for someone like me with time on my side, I saved
$100 not buying new and I now have guards which will fit.
I learned a lot from an older guy in a restoration shop who routinely threw
out the old and replaced with new. Maybe there was a day when "new" really
was better, but the more of these cars I do (and I am now on number 13) the
more I try to keep whatever I can and only replace where absolutely
necessary.
Just my 2 cents....

Hi all,
I recently joined the list, and have found it very useful already. I owned a ?61 back in the ?70s and could kick myself for ever selling. I am now in a hunt for project TR-3. I?m expecting to do a full frame off restoration - with a lot of learning along the way!!! I live in the Richmond VA area, although I hear shipping cross country is not an insurmountable problem. If anyone has any l leads on a project just waiting for help please let me know. I also joined the Richmond Triumph Register, the Triumph Experience forum and a couple others. Great resources.
Thanks, take care.

They have fairly deep compound curves, which might be tricky for someone with no experience beating aluminum (or using an English
wheel).
The new ones I got from TRF had the curves right, they just had a lot of extra metal around the edges that had to be trimmed away.

Welcome aboard, Kerry.
I'm sure that you will get years of pleasure for your efforts involving another Triumph. Especially a TR3.
Joining your local Triumph club and the TR list are the best places to start.
I'll look forward to your inquiries and shared successes.

Welcome to the list Terry,
Was your TR3 from the 70's red with a big stovepipe exhaust? I lived in Richmond when I sold mine.
just remember it's much easier to ask dumb questions than fix dumb mistakes. Projects are always coming along, good to know you are looking.
All the best,
Bill

Andrew,
You are right on about the stone guards. The repros don't fit anything like the originals. I found that much trimming is needed, but I got mine to look factory by doing the necessary work.
Reusing original parts should definitely be considered.
In a matter of a few hundred miles, the new ones got all pitted and dented anyway. They look perfectly used now.
If it's going to be a trailer queen, by all means, make the repros work. But protect them with layers of foam, because the slightest momentum past pushing the car in the driveway will cause pits and dents.

I recently bought a set of stone guards from one of the Big Three and was
not impressed by the quality of what I received. To add to it, the prices
for these are pretty steep. The pieces I took off my '59 TR3 were deeply
pitted but were a heavier gauge aluminum than these new ones.... I suspect
they dent/deform far more easily than the stock pieces. Seems like these
are good candidates for some fab shop to make in heavier gauge aluminum or
even stainless steel. At least then, I wouldn't mind spending the $$.

The ones I got from Moss were the same gauge, but required a significant amount of trimming and fitting ? no BS, I had about 10 hours to do both sides by the time I was done fitting them.
I just assumed that my fenders were ?out of shape? from nearly 60 years of abuse and as near as I can tell 8 or 9 paint jobs, bodged rust repairs, etc. etc.??????.

They have fairly deep compound curves, which might be tricky for someone with no experience beating aluminum (or using an English
wheel).
The new ones I got from TRF had the curves right, they just had a lot of extra metal around the edges that had to be trimmed away.

Kerry - This just came in from the Brits-on-the-Hudson.
Alex Thomson - Connecticut Triumph Register
Just spotted this tr3 for sale on craigs list in Hyde park. Haven't seen
it and don't know the seller, but he's looking for best offer and looks from
pictures like a good winter project.

In front of the bumpers then back over to the cylinder is correct.
The chassis looks beautiful. Nice job.

I just fitted new brake lines to a TR3 ? routed in front of the bump stop and leaf spring shackle (see pic). Someone told me the lines should be routed behind the axle, but I have always done it in front. Does anyone know who is correct?

TR3Bs are the rarest of the TRs, because of the low production number.
It could have the 2138cc engine and fully synchronized trans.
This car looks worth checking on as a project.

Kerry - This just came in from the Brits-on-the-Hudson.

Just spotted this tr3 for sale on craigs list in Hyde park. Haven't seen
it and don't know the seller, but he's looking for best offer and looks from
pictures like a good winter project.

Hi all,
I recently joined the list, and have found it very useful already. I owned
a '61 back in the '70s and could kick myself for ever selling. I am now in
a hunt for project TR-3. I'm expecting to do a full frame off restoration -
with a lot of learning along the way!!! I live in the Richmond VA area,
although I hear shipping cross country is not an insurmountable problem. If
anyone has any l leads on a project just waiting for help please let me
know. I also joined the Richmond Triumph Register, the Triumph Experience
forum and a couple others. Great resources.
