TR3 with TR4 gearbox and overdrive.
I know this has been discussed at length, but I am still puzzled how to get the speedometer cable past the frame. Either I can go under it, a bit exposed, or I can go through the same hole as the rear brake line, and worry about chafing ( though I thought I would try to immobilize the two things with silicone). I know the second method has been used by some of you: maybe it is the only way.
I stretched the holes at the rear mount, and the unit seems to sit square on the front mounts so i thought all was well. But when I added the crosspiece that supports the front panel the hood latch is (just) rubbing against the top hose. Goes this mean that I have to grind off a bit more at the back, even though the front mounts seem OK. Or could it be that the top cross member is out of whack: I have not had the chance to put on the hood/bonnet to see if the latch is out of place.
I will try for a photograph today. still lots to do!
