Subject: [TR] TR3 floorpans
Message-ID: <3764d35943bc414ebaac1432148b2ac4@ranteer.com>

I recently acquired a TR3a (TS47XXX LO)

The floors are pretty good but it would be nice to replace the front half of the driver's side.  Everything else is covered with grease and not rusty.  Does anyone make a half floor pan?  I'd rather not do a whole floor pan on that side.

If they did it would likely cost the same as a whole pan.

TR3a, one of the door studs is loose.  Very loose.  This would be where the tonneau lift a dots snap in for the tonneau along the outside.

Jb weld?  Wood putty?  Glue?  What's a good solution here?

On my TR3A (TS60XXX), they are fastened with machine screw studs with nuts on the back. I know because when I read your post, I went out and found one of mine loose! Remove the door card and you'll find ~1/2" holes is the sheet metal behind each of the studs. The nut on my loose one was 11/32". If the hole has become enlarged, you could put a thin flat washer on the back. If it's really enlarged, you might also try a small stainless steel washer on the front.

You'll probably have to buy a whole pan and cut it in half.

There is a product called strip seal which can be used to seal the area between the top moulding and the windshield. It?s a putty strip that is about 3/16? round and about 16? long. It compresses easily and makes a good seal. Can be found at stores that sell automotive paint and body shop stuff

Lok-Tite?? I have a few that are loose but since they are under shear and not tension they don't pull out.

Let me try again.

One the outside of the doors are studs that the bottom of the side curtains snap into.  These studs go through the metal door and into the wood frame inside the door.  This one is completely stripped and just falls out.  since its wood that the stud screws into, I was thinking plastic wood or something like that.  or JB weld.

Dave,
From your description I presume this stud is screwed into wood.   A simple trick is to cut a splinter of wood and insert it into the hole then screw the stud in.  

If your wood is too far shot for any tricks you have to replace the door rail.   I have a pair to sell if you find you need them.

One solution to these types of issues is to take a few wooden tooth picks, cover them them in glue, like Elmer?s but any wood glue and put them in the hole that isn?t holding the screw. Let the glue dry, break or cut the excess that stick out of the hole and them go ahead and screw in the stud.

An old carpenter's trick is to put a thin stick of hard wood (think toothpick) into the hole. It may take 2 or 3 of them to mostly fill it in. Dip them into some wood glue if you wish. Then drive the stud in after trimming the filler sticks off. Should outlast the car.Sent from my Galaxy

Or epoxy.? Or bondo.? I guess just about anything will work.
Another thought: wrap some teflon tape around the stud's threads to fill the gap.

Subject: Re: [TR] TR3 door stud

Let me try again.

One the outside of the doors are studs that the bottom of the side curtains snap into.  These studs go through the metal door and into the wood frame inside the door.  This one is completely stripped and just falls out.  since its wood that the stud screws into, I was thinking plastic wood or something like that.  or JB weld.

TR3a, one of the door studs is loose.  Very loose.  This would be where the tonneau lift a dots snap in for the tonneau along the outside.



Jb weld?  Wood putty?  Glue?  What?s a good solution here?

In my home town of Evesham in the U.K., the early part of August sees a weekend dedicated to a re-enactment of the Battle of Evesham in 1265. By all accounts it was a very bloody affair with neither side taking prisoners. This weekend sees the better part of 1,000 reenactors taking part with the inevitable mediaeval encampment, horses everywhere, tents everywhere and a pall of woodsmoke from a myriad campfires hanging over the town and under a continuous drizzle of rain of any Typically British summer day.
The reenactors and camp followers are taking things very seriously by dressing in period clothes, eating period food and some are even speaking Chaucer?s English. The whole scene is a backdrop of two handed swords, spears, pikes, longbows and what have you.
Imagine my surprise therefore when coming through the town last night to encounter a Spitfire and a Stag parked by the kerb. The bonnet was raised on the Spitfire and the bootlid open on the Stag with a large box of tools on the ground between. But it was the crews of these cars that intrigued me as they were all dressed a l?epoque de 1265 with swords, spears, clubs and longbows leaning against the two cars, while eating in their fingers from a number of opened packets of fish and chips strategically placed on two soft tops, as the Spitfire decanted it?s own smokescreen to add to that of the campfires. 
I?m guessing a tourist would want to photograph this scene but to me it was all quite normal - just a bit of period confusion perhaps but so typically British.

Here is where I am.  Do I cut up the housing or cut the sensor?  I can turn the sensor with pliars inside the housing but its clearly not coming out.  I put it in a bucket and poured very hot water in there but the gage didn't move, so I'm figuring the gage doesn't work.

Dave,

 

The temperature gauge probably did not work because the capillary tube has a
leak. There are companies that can install a new tube.

It just crud holding it in.  If you can turn it, I would first just keep working that to see if it loosens enough to come out before any other drastic solutions.   Maybe someone here can recommend a good decalcifing(sp) agent to help it along.

Don't cut the housing unless you have a "lock" on a replacement. It would be much harder to replace than the sensor. There may even be a way to replace the original ether-filled system with an electric one. The old system always seemed too prone to failure to me anyways!

I think the price to rebuild my TR3 temp gauge including replacing the capillary tube was close to $300 ten years ago.  I replaced all my small gauges with AutoMeter electric gauges for about the same price or less.  They look very similar to the original units and have beveled glass but with orange needles.  
A TR4 t-stat housing will work if you can't find a TR3 unit.  They are slightly different in appearance.  I think the TR4 housing is die cast, might be pot metal and TR3 looks sand cast and is aluminum.  I believe TR4s had an electrical temp gauge that is otherwise exactly like a TR3.

We have a 59 TR3a.  we want to replace the wheels and tires with wider ones.  Has anyone done this?  what fits?  What doesn't?  we do not want to modify the bodywork.

Thanks!

My last TR3 I went to 6? minilites and stayed with the 165/15 Vredestein tires as recommended by Ted Schumacher.   Puts more rubber on ground without adding more weight.  Great handling!

I have a gallery of lotsa photos I've taken of the TR3S replica from when
Paul Hogan (who created the tribute) still owned it.

In that gallery are some detailed photos of how the driving lights are
mounted to rounded-off pieces of aluminum angle iron bolted to the bumper
arms.  The Lucas driving light trim rings are "clocked" in the canted
housing to orient them upright.

Congratulations indeed!

I do recall that you told me you would turn 65 during the charity drive in
uncle jack and would be able to ride the buses for free upon your return to
the UK.

I regret to inform you that Susie left this realm on 25 August.

I am proud to inform you that Susie's last outing was in uncle jack at a
car show in Minneapolis on on 20 August.  The show was for the benefit of
The Lift Garage, a shop that does first-rate safety repairs at cut-rate
prices for the working poor.  Here, a failure of an automobile can trigger
homelessness. We made a substantial contribution, and will encourage folks
here to do the same instead of flowers when we announce a Celebration of
Life for Susie.
