I understood the "state of the art" statement. Radiator fin shape has evolved to be moe efficient than was built 40 - 50 years ago. That is without regard to materials used, tubes, etc. David Lylis 6

FWIW, 15" "temporary use" spare tires are readily available for almost nothing at any wrecking yard and fit just dandy on stock TR3 wheels. Leave lots of room in the tire well for other spare parts.

Another good question to ask is how much runout do the wheels have, in 2 different axes. They are never just "true", there is always some runout, both radial and lateral, and if your shop doesn't kno
