The front fenders on a TR3 have a rolled in wire from the factory. It's a n=
ice touch to copy this on the rears. Jeff Snook's TR3 is like this and I wi=
ll copy this soon. Doing this will eliminate tire clearance issues.=20

 that there is just a rolled edge with a wire in it on a TR3, not folded me=
