Hi again Jerry,

The other thread mentions a few suppliers but I could not find the part listed for TR3s.

See
https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/MossUK/ProductList.aspx?SubSubCategoryID=TR2_UKTRI-172 for a picture and info about the bolt-in conversion kit. An earlier response directs you to Revington's site for info on the weld-in conversion kit.
Likely the bolt-in kit shown at Moss Europe is same as or nearly the same as the one sold by BAR in the U.S., although it sounds like BAR also include an electric fan conversion in their kit. Some of the other U.S. vendors may also supply the same kit. Many of the U.S. vendors simply source the parts from the U.K. Also, this is likely the same/similar to the unit sold by TR Bitz in England.
You can certainly order direct from the U.K., but might find shipping costs a little high and you will pay more import duty than a vendor would, assuming they are buying at a wholesale price.
Revington TR and, I think, Racetorations are two sources of weld-in rack conversion kits, if that's what you would prefer. I understand this type kit *can* be installed without removing the body from the frame, although I would guess doing so would make it easier. Again, the weld-in installation is undoubtedly the more secure way to go, but would be more difficult to convert back to original configuration in the future.
Ken Gillanders at British Frame and Engine (
www.britishframeandengine.com imports a variety of parts from Darryl Uprichard at Racetorations, and might be able to help you get one of those kits, if you are interested. Ken also sources some things from TriumphTune and Moss Europe, the seller of the kit shown at the link above.
I've purchased several things from Neil Revington directly, am not aware of any U.S. vendor working with him (but, again, Ken Gillanders knows and might also import parts from Neil).
www.rimmerbros.com in England might also offer either the bolt-in or weld-in kit. I didn't see any info about it on their website. Their TR2/3/3A parts catalog is a downloadable pdf, if you want to take a look.
Chris Connolly at Cambridge Motorsport in England is another possible source. But a quick look at
https://shop.cambridgemotorsport.com doesn't show anything. Might be worth emailing.
Back here in the U.S., neither The Roadster Factory (
www.the-roadster-factory.com) or British Parts Northwest (
www.bpnorthwest.com) list a steering conversion kit, but might be worth sending an email. They can probably get one.
There might be more info out on the Internet... could be worth Googling. I just got 361 results with: TR3 steering rack pinion "conversion kit". (One of the first was Ted at BAR's ad in Hemmings online classifieds.)

The steering box was rebuilt by Triumphs Only.
