I wondered about that as well. From strictly "eyeball" / side-by-side 
comparisons, it seems to me that all the Triumph steering racks, whether TR4-6 
or Herald-based, are about the same width. So I'd have to assume some 
shortening of the tie rods would be needed for the narrower TR3 front track. 
Yes? No?

And yeah, I also wondered about cutting the cross tube? Doesn't sound like a 
good idea to me....
