Joe, Ive been reading up on your questions re the B post positioning. It will be a while before Im that far but its super interesting. Question...where do the drip channels come in? I restored my 3A and have my 57 in pieces (like yours, but mine hasnt been blasted or dipped yet) but I havent seen that part before. If I need them, where do I buy them? Thanks for your posts. Paul

Hi Paul,The drip channels are on each side of the trunk ( or often referred as the boot)With the later TR3s that drip channel is different... mine had a lot of corrosion and I didn't want to cobbled something... older TR3 have a drip channel tjat quite a bit easier to fabricate...I had a coach builder fab mine... He did an awesome job... To ensure correctness I sent him mine..Your 57 will have the older style drip channels...Good luck with your restoration...CheersJoe O
