TR2/3/3A TR3A - Front Apron/Air Duct

This is a listing from the TR2/3 parts catalog of the radiator air duct. This was a factory modification made early in the 3A production as a result of overheating reported primarily by US owners.

The concept is very simple, three piece hinged affair, but our replacement from Moss came with no instructions or hardware.

The factory lists four sheet metal screws and washers. The washers are not listed in the ST hardware catalog. We're inclined to believe that these may have been fender washers to prevent the rather fragile fiberboard from tearing.

We can't find any obvious holes in the apron or inner wings that match the screw size. Can someone explain just where these screws secure the duct?

Thanks,

T

The bottom edge of the duct folds and rests flat against the "shelf" in front of the radiator. The 4 screws and washers secure the duct to the shelf. If you have an early apron, or a replacement apron, the holes won't be there.

PS, the Moss illustration might help

The holes on my "shelf" were there but almost invisible, filled in with crud. I discovered them when I fitted the deflector in place. Moss sells the sheet metal screws.
