Oops. You're right, the manual does not specify post-60000. I just looked up
the bolt-type stanchions and assumed that they were for post-60000. There are
actually 3 types listed : chrome Dzus, chrome bolt, and aluminum bolt; but no
changeover points are given.
My guess would be that you could (in theory) order a car with any of the four
windscreen setups listed (an aluminum windshield frame with chome bolt
stanchions is the 4th choice), but only racers bothered to. The default setup
probably changed at 60000 to lower cost.
My book is P/N 501653 from STANPART. It seems to cover TR3A up to TS60000
pretty well, but post-60000 is spotty. I got it from TRF some years ago. The
whole manual is pretty sloppy (for example it has no chapter 4), and appears to
be assembled from several other manuals, so I don't consider it gospel.
