 Hurts the pocket book but it also hurts the pride.  Really embarrassing.

Subject: [TR] TR Bonnets: (Was Re: TR3 - how does the door latch strap fasten to the door latch) True.  But this does:
One day I was working on the TR3 and decided to take it around the block for a test run.  As I headed out I noticed that I had forgotten to latch the bonnet.  "No worries" I thought "the safety catch will keep it down for the trip around the block." says I.  Except that it didn't.  Due to a misalignment it didn't and I was barely doing 30 MPH when the bonnet came up and over breaking both hinges and doing about $1,000 worth of damage.  At that point I wish it was forward hinged.
BTW I shifted the latch over about a 1/4 inch (.6mm) and it now actually does what it should.

No problem. I just saw that the subject line was dealing with TR3s and an under dash bonnet release did not seem to fit with these bonnets.😊 Keith From: DAVID MASSEY <dave1massey at cs.com>

Subject: RE: [TR] TR3 - how does the door latch strap fasten to the door latchAre we still talking about TR3s here? The bonnet on the TR3 is rear-hinged unlike the TR4-6 range with their forward hinges. Any cable attached to the bonnet latch would hang down at the front of the engine. On the TR3, the forward edge of the bonnet is held down by the Dzus fasteners. Keith From: DAVID MASSEY <dave1massey at cs.com>

Can’t swear as to originality, but the ones on my 57 TR3 are leather on the outside but the leather encases a link chain – with the latch shaft going through the end link and held in place by a nut while the end link at the other end is secured by a screw under the escutcheon for the outer leather strap. Keith Stewartkeithstewart at bell.net   From: DAVID MASSEY <dave1massey at cs.com>

Subject: Re: [TR] TR3 - how does the door latch strap fasten to the door latch Yes.  My biggest question is where can I get those parts?  Dave says the inner part is heavy gauge leather.  It looks like the outer is thinner, more supple leather.  I have neither.  Does anyone sell these parts? ** triumphs at autox.team.net **
