Hmmm, well, that was going to be my suggestion. My local speedo shop has no
idea what a TR3 is either, but said they could make up an adapter for anything.
As I understand it, they start with a (new) speedo cable that fits your car,
then cut it in the middle and terminate the cut ends to suit their box. The box
just hangs on the cable, so it can be wherever you like ... under the dash
behind the speedo or in the engine compartment.
Maybe you should call around to some other shops ? If that doesn't work, try :
North Hollywood Speedometer & Clock Co.
