It was such a simple answer to the problem... I'm slapping my forehead for
not figuring that out myself. It worked magnificently this morning.
Installing that 3rd clip was always such a pain in the past and I dreaded
having to remove and replace the rear cylinders because of it! Now, it's
no problem.
I have this gut feeling that I figured out that 132 order when I was 15
working on my first TR... but it became a "lost art" for me I think... and
I wonder what happened to my brain that would not lead me to
rediscovering/remembering this method!!!
Oh well... I just thought I'd share lesson learned here.
