I have a spacer on the rear spring for the RHS.
The story I've heard is that there was a racing class where the car was required to sit level "as raced", which meant without a passenger.

But I believe it was only a certain range of cars that were so equipped. Both early and late did not have the spacer.

Thanks All for the advice.

I am restoring a vintage racing TR3, so I wanted it to maintain that racing look. It came with two sets up rims....one stock set of TR4 or TR250 rims with the studs for the hubcaps and one set of alloys with Yokohama racing slicks installed. I am not crazy about the look of the alloys that came with the car (although they are different.) One guy suggesed that they may have come off of a 70's English Capri. I was looking for something a little different than the minilites or panasports. I may go with the center knock off minilites with spinners although I know that that is a pricey option.

Here is a pic of the alloys that came with the car. If anyone could help identify what they might be off of, that would be appreciated.

If these are TR250 Wheels with hubcap studs, they may have some value to our concours folks. I think there's a stamp inside the wheel telling how wide it is...
Take care Bob
