Hello All,

Brought home from Ohio to NW Indiana a 1958 TR3A I bought. This is the
first Triumph I've owned since 1970. And since I drove it home in
freezing rain and snow 300 miles with the heater only keeping my feet
warm I was reminded that Triumphs are not at their best in snow storms.
Hurry up spring.

The car needs a few things. The front outriders were missing which I
ordered from TRF. They seem to have good prices especially with the sale
they're having but as I was warned half the stuff I wanted had to be
back ordered.

The speedometer reads 40% higher then it should and is erratic. Any
comments? Cable problem or the speedometer needs rebuilding?

One last question. In the Moss catalog I see tripod headlights. When
where these used and would they be correct for a 1958 TR3A?
