Listers,
Can anyone on the list help Chris with his critical needs? I have no
extra parts, at least none on Chris's list. However, I will send him the
dimensions of the clutch slave stay rod.
TIA

Jim
Thanks for the info . I'm attempting to fabricate the stay rod but would
rather like to obtain the correct one .( Do you perhaps know the correct
dimensions of the rod ? )
Unfortunately the exchange rate ( South African Rand versus US Dollar / UK
Pound and shipping costs ) makes the buying of parts from the US or UK a
very , very traumatic experience . So as first option I would like to obtain
old parts that I can restore myself or use as a pattern / template . I know
there are a few things I would have to buy new or reconditioned , but maybe
someone somewhere has a few unwanted items they would be willing to give (
wishfull thinking :-) ) ,loan , swop or sell cheaply . Running TR3's are
extremely rare and parts cars are basically non-existent in South Africa so
I would appreciate it if you could forward a list ( with asking prices ) of
all the items you would be willing to sell to me .
The following TR3 items are desperately needed in any condition or colour
(anything will do , I might be able to use it as a pattern to make my own):
Clutch slave cylinder stayrod ( very urgent please ) ,
Windshield center support bracket + buffer (very urgent please ) ,
Choke cable assembly + knob ( very urgent please ) ,
Temperature gauge ( fahrenheit or centigrade ,very urgent please ) ,
Tonneau center ( rear )rail capping , Hoodstick ( top frame ) cover ,
Boot / trunk lid stayrod + retainer , Seat rail set ( r/h + l/h )
Glovebox lid stayrod + striker plate + buffer bracket + rear bracket ,
Upper + lower grille mouldings ( any condition , will repair + re-chrome ),
Radiator support rods , Radiator drain tap , Egg shaped overdrive switch,
Tachometer ring and glass , Ammeter , Oil pressure gauge ,
Starting handle guide + stayrods , Tenax stud on w/shield frame (one only),
Red ignition warning lamp , Amber or green flasher warning lamp ,
Starting handle ( hand crank ) , Jack + ratchet handle , Tool roll +tools ,
Heater + valve + switch + pipes etc. , Owners manual , Workshop manual ,
Handbrake sealing rubber and plates sealing rubber to tunnel and floor ,
Studs and lugnuts for disc wheels , Hard top fixing kit ( brackets etc. ),
Front suspension rebound rubber assy. ( r/h side ) ,
Rear axle buffers and check straps ,
Hard top rubbers + rear window , Side curtain set .
All rubber parts ( door draft seals , trunk lid seal etc. )
Spare tire + tool strap set .
Any help would be appreciated . Best wishes .

Chris,
Do not drive the car without the clutch stay rod!! I broke the bell
housing of a TR3 I owned many years ago doing just that. You can
fabricate one out of long threaded rod if need be until you can find an
original one. Believe me there is a lot of force applied to that
aluminum bell housing.
Good luck
