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 $$.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#000099'>Dave<br><br><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 9:23 PM, Randall <<a href="mailto:TR3driver@ca.rr.com" target="_blank">TR3driver@ca.rr.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><p class=MsoNormal><br>> After reading your post, I find myself wondering why you<br>> could not fabricate some out of sheet aluminum.<br><br>They have fairly deep compound curves, which might be tricky for someone with no experience beating aluminum (or using an English<br>wheel).<br><br>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.<br><br>Randall<br><br><br>** <a href="mailto:triumphs@autox.team.net">triumphs@autox.team.net</a> **<br><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/forzion7@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/forzion7@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
