I can only second Jim's comments a great manual, lots of readable diagrams
and photos. Probably the best $25.00 i've sunk into the car yet.

>As much as I hate to, I must charge $25 for it (plus $3.70 for postage and
>packing -- $3.20 for the stamp, and $0.50 for the mailer). It is VERY
>expensive to produce books in small quantities. I tried commercial
>publishers, but either the quality was extremely poor, or the cost was
>simply
>prohibitive. Postage and packing to most European countries is $10.70.
>$14.25
>to Australia, and $6.16 to Canada. For other countries, the book and
packing
>
>weighs 1 pound, 8.8 ounces, so check with your post office. Those prices
are
>
>for 5 - 10 day air mail. For 4 - 6 week surface mail, the prices are $6.78
>to
>Europe and Australia, and $4.20 to Canada. If you want more than one copy
>(clubs, etc), up to five can be shipped for $5, if you can wait 2 - 10 days
>for delivery. Ask for pricing and discounts on orders for more than five
>books.

>To order, send check or money order, in US dollars, to:

>PO Box 6430,
>Maryville, TN 37802-6430

>By the end of this week, I will have 100 copies ready, and I can print and

>can
>do as many as 20 - 25 per day (it takes 25 minutes just to print each
book!)
>
>Please be patient with me, as this is a one-man operation. (I spent five
>hours yesterday, just folding the schematic diagrams - 800 for the first
100
>
>books!) If I get more orders than I think I will, it may be a few days

having

>Guarantee:

>As much as I would like to, I cannot say with 100% certainty that the book
>doesn't contain errors -- given the nature of the problem, that is not
>possible. Two Triumphs, just a few numbers apart off the line, may have
>several differences in the wiring, and, after all these years, it is very
>difficult to find truly original examples. I can say, however, that any
>errors in the book are minor in nature, and the supporting material will
>provide sufficient guidance that the errors will not be a real problem.
>About 80% of the material comes from personal knowledge, about 15% from
>converstions with other owners, and about 5% from published documentation
>and
>plain old guess work.
>
>Nevertheless, I do guarantee your complete satisfaction. If you are not
>happy
>with the book, for any reason, return it within 2 weeks, in resalable
>condition, and I will refund your money, minus shipping, no questions
asked.

>If this book is sucessful, I will follow up with a second volume for the
TR2

>- TR4A, and maybe a later volume for the Spitfire and GT6.

>Thank you, and sorry for the commercialism. It's good to be back on the
list
