I have already installed the rear springs on my 60 TR3A after complete disassembly. I used a small 12ton press to rearc to match all the leafs so I have twin springs. I even sanded/feathered out the

Over the (entire) Fourth of July weekend, I fitted new TRF rear springs to my TR3. Success!!!! As I'd suspected, the old "new" ones had too much arch, about an inch too much. They seemed to be about

Has anyone done any research on the correct spring rate for the TR3's rear springs? The factory manual shows a rear spring and gives a rate of around 125 lbs/inch and states a laden deflection of aro

Ed Woods posted a question about tr3 rear springs. I too have the same problem (rear axle rests on the frame). The only difference is that I have a bare frame. Will the weight of the engine and the b

As I built my TR3, I too thought that additional weight would remedy the problem. It did not. In retrospect, I should have estimated the weight of the body and simple placed a number of friends on t

When I got my car, with the old original springs, even jacking it up by the axle wouldn't move the axle away from the frame. When I was reassembling it, I used a hydraulic frame tool to move the axle

This weekend I reintalled the rear springs. I did so by first placing the rubber stops on the axle. Then I attached the spring to the front mount then to the axle housing . By pressing down on the re

For one who has not dealt much with leaf springs other than take off and put back (but may be real soon) what is meant by "reaching" the springs? And what is the process by which this is done? TIA M

Interesting to note that you'll require less arch, not more to get the axle housing/frame clearance you're after. My 3's axle housings are still solidly against the frame which is why I don't drive i

I must have missed something here. The arch or the leaf spring on a TR3 bows upward in the middle. The axle mounts on top of the spring, and on top of the frame. Therefore more arch would increase th

Hi Mark, You asked: I assume that he's referring to "re-arching" the springs, not reaching the springs. I'm not exactly sure, but I suspect that it involves heat and a large hydraulic press... <grin>

Hi Ed, I started the thread about the stanchions and the current thinking is that the post 60000 cars had flush stanchions (no slot)on the scuttle side. Can you confirm this? To your recollection, is

During the restoration of my TR3 I purchased new rear springs. Now I find that, with these springs installed, the rear axle housing rests on the frame. The "used" TR3's seem to have an inch or three
