[TR] TR3 Rattle

[terryrs@comcast.net]

One last thing.  I'd lived with this annoyance for the past 10 years, since I'd 
restored the car...a rattle from the front that I just couldn't locate.  

Recently I started the engine with the hood up and noticed the vibration on the 
bonnet duzies.  I'd thought that cranking down on them to close the bonnet 
would have dampered any rattle, but apparently not the case.  I put a rubber 
o-ring under the washer beneath the duzie and the rattle has disappeared.  The 
car is actually now purring quietly down the road.

I didn't think it was possible.  Probably shouldn't be and I'm tempting the 
Triumph gods....
