I'm TS76120L it's not the original cowl but one that was obtained from
the
dealer about 1973 or 74. The original letters were used in the new
cowl, I
don't know if they were predrilled or not ,, too long ago.B
==AM==
With the cars then over 10 years out of production, I would assume that
any factory replacement aprons would NOT have been predrilled. But that
late a car I think I'd expect to have smooth letters from new.
Meanwhile, Randall noted: "Bill Piggott gives the change point as
'approximately' TS72000."
And that seems plausible. Unfortunately, the one TR3A I still have
can't be used to judge. TS73624L -- built 4/15/60 -- had a "nondrilled"
replacement front apron (and subsequent additional damage to it and the
right fender, all nicely brazed together and "Bondo'd" over) by the
time I got it around 1973 or 1974!
