As Tony has basically said, the answer is "it depends", but either way it's 
 not difficult. Mine TR3A also had the holes pre-drilled and threaded, with 
bolts  in them, to accept the original factory Triumph screens, which are 
taller than  the Brooklands ones. Mine had the holes and bolts there only 
because the factory  stopped doing this in I think 1959 and mine was built in 
'57.
 
Even if yours is a later car with no holes/bolts, etc., all you really have 
 to do, as far as I am aware, is drill the holes and install them. It'll be 
a bit  trickier than an earlier car because you'll have to get under the 
dash to get  the nuts on the bolts.
 
If yours is an earlier car with the mountings installed at the factory, and 
 if you want to fit Brooklands screens to it (and not the Triumph factory 
ones),  you'll need a conversion kit so that the Brooklands screens will 
install using  the factory holes.
 
Incidentally, I have them installed on my car and I notice no difference  
whatsoever in terms of wind when driving. They are worse in rain, however.

How  difficult is it to fit a set of Brooklands wind screens to a TR3?
