<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Hello Rick and fellow bodies, <br>
<br>
When I built my MGB GT V8 (none available in N America) I knew
as a non-factory built car it would never be regarded as a
'real' V8. So some modifications were made such as SD1 gearbox
and down draft Weber (actually sold in NA as Edelbrock because
brand Weber not well known in NA!). But major 'upgrade' was
point to point wiring with fuses and solenoids as per Dan
Master's design </font></font><font size="-1"><font
face="Arial">(see British V8 Newsletter May-Aug 2001) Thus
little fear of difficult to solve electric problems although it
did mean more wire. There had never been an electrical problem
except a high-torque starter (never buy a cheap one). The
mechanic who looks after the car loves the wiring. <br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Barrie<br>

<div dir="auto"> Perhaps I'm the only guy who enjoys wiring and
electrical systems! I just find it rewarding to get everything
connected correctly and the harness bits aligned. Go figure!
<div dir="auto"> My TD is simplicity itself but the other LBC
project takes some thinking. It's a US specification 1975 TR6.
And as we all know, the '70s was a time of turmoil for our
LBCs; None the least of which was the electrics! Part of my
goal with this car is to create a CORRECT wiring diagram with
CORRECT color codes! Nothing I have found published matches my
car, including the schematics labeled 'U.S.A. Only'.</div>
<div dir="auto"> Still, for a guy like me who builds and
restores cars rather than driving them, this is a perfect
challenge (storm?)! There are other projects in the queue too,
but they are even further OT than Triumph talk...so I will
leave Volvo, Lancia, and Jaguar words for others.</div>
