TR2/3/3A TR3 Hardtop assembly manual

[GaryW]

Does anyone have or know of a source for a manual? I recall seeing one a while back. My hardtop is back from paint, headliner en route from TRF, intallation kit from Moss, new seals in a box. Need to know how to assemble seals, install the headliner and rear window, and where to put the mounting brackets.

Thanks!

My original TR Service Instruction Manual has several pages in the back outlining the TR2 & TR3 Hard Top Installation. My new printer has a scanner on it, so if I can figure that out, I'll post it up here. Give me some time to figure this out...

Thanks Art. I'm interested in seeing the scans too.

OK, apparently the scanner is only for making copies. At least that's what I get from reading the convoluted instruction manual. So, I decided to just photograph the pages. Hopefully they will be intelligible...

Edit: Doesn't look too bad. If you download the pics, you can always just magnify them if needed, especially the pictures. The text is very readable.

I have a PDF file of the entire manual, made from somewhat better quality scans. PM or email me if you'd like a copy.

Thanks. You guys rock. I have the service manual - the hardtop instructions are in the TR3 supplement at the end. Would not have guessed I'd find it there.

WHAT? You haven't read your service manual cover-to-cover yet? :laugh:

Probably gets enough natural fiber, so he doesn't get that far through the book.

Hi there,

Would you be able to send me a copy of the assembly manual that you have please?
I'm knee deep in $#*% and don't have a clue what rubber etc goes where!
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

There are some links here in this thread from an ace web forum

TR2/3/3A - Which is the best Triumph Repair Manual?

There seem to be several service manuals available for Triumphs, specifically a 1959 TR-3A. Does anyone recommend one as being noticeably better than the others? I have a strong preference for one that uses American English as opposed to British English, so I guess the original one would not...

I believe there is a section in the Haynes tr3 book. I have done it. The challenging part is drilling the holes in the windshield frame top to accommodate the bracket holes on the hard top. The bottom holes for the hard top on the tub are predrilled from the factory and sometimes the bracket is there also. The rest is gluing rubber seals. The side curtains sit lower for a hardtop because the side curtain tucks under the hardtop drip edge, so yours might need lowering, maybe.

Hi there, I'm actually looking for information on how to put the hardtop together from the raw. Not how to put it on the car.
Thanks in advance, Peder
