OK,
Now that we have identified those wood blocks.  What does the List say  about 
the seat belt hardware in the inner rear fenders? The Ole Lady had some  
really wrong looking sort of square plates for reinforcing? Would big round  
washers be more appropriate? 
 
Does anybody know what size  rubber fuel line hose will allow a  compression 
fit on TR'S.  If so where can it be had?  Although they  are allowed, being a 
purist I just hate all these goofy looking clamps  everywhere. I got the good 
stuff that fit from Moss years ago, I not sure they  still provide it.  It 
anyone wants to know I ran my TR3B for 15 years w/o  any clamps on the fuel 
lines 
as original w/o leaking.
 
On the subject of clamps and the original Triumph type, why do all the  
repros seem to be to big? You have to max out the screw then hope that it does  
not 
leak?  Is it the clamp or is it the size of the repro hoses? This  is 
especially a problem on the small hoses.  Sometimes the opposite is in  effect 
and 
the repros are not big enough. Certainly differences exist from  the originals. 
Sorry supplier type folks this is major a "Piss Off " to  me!
 
Which side should the spacers for the springs of the rear suspension  be on?  
I am going to say drivers side.
 
Once I get her back I will most likely have a few other issues,
Thanks,
Darrell
