Sybill sounds like quite the car, my wife refers to my saffron yellow
'72 as the blond bitch.
Your problem could be that there are sensors in the seat as well.
Someone (something) has to be sitting in the seat for the sensor to
engage. However, I don't know if this will acually prevent the car from
starting. Considering the already known effects of Triumph electrical
systems, I would disconnect the seatbelt and seat sensors, that is, of
course if disconnection doesn't prevent the car from starting. I never
re-installed my seat sensors after the seat rebuild....no problems.
Good Luck,
Dana....72 TR6
