I'm helping the California Auto Museum in the Sacrament get a donated TR3 in condition for events. It needs the flex oil line from the block to the oil line connection on the firewall. I figured no problem, just get one from Moss Motors. I could not find it in their catalog and neither could their customer service person today. I would think it is a common part from year to year. As you can see, I have a TR4A, but there is a big difference with the TR3. Any assistance you folks could provide in locating one would be appreciated.



Thanks,
 
It is item #125 under oil system online. Or item #70 page 12 in the catalog.

It's so obvious once I see it on page 12! Although I spent a lot of time looking at other pages. Thanks so much!
 
Another resource you may find helpful is the factory parts catalogue.

Armed with it, you can order parts from The Roadster Factory (aka TRF), who sometimes offer more accurate reproductions of the originals than Moss does. The owner of TRF, Charles Runyan, is a TR enthusiast himself and a bit of a fanatic for originality.

(Oddly enough, TRF doesn't publish a complete catalog for the TR3, you pretty much have to use the factory SPC above. The on-line catalog lists only a tiny fraction of the parts they carry.)
