Hello all .. I had this rod zip tied with the two braces for the crank start guide. I haven't been able to find it in TR3a parts breakdowns. Can anyone give me a pointer. Thanks in advance.

I do not have an image to share, but this fitting is part of the steering column support just under the dash. I will hunt around for an image later in my day.
 
Thanks Frank. That's it! I have the radiator stays in place. i also have the crank handle guide braces (two). There is a mounting tab of some sort and a threaded hole in the bottom of the crank guide. Looks like there would be a third brace, though I haven't found it yet. It's only been 6 years since I disassembled it. If so would you have a photo of that so I'll recognize it when I see it. Thanks, George

There is a screw or bolt that threads into that hole you see in the bottom of the crank guide. Check you parts bin for one that might fit. I am in Florida and my car is in Canada so I cannot tell you the thread size for that hole. I also used a star lock washer. Good luck hunting.

It is just a 1/4" fine thread.
