Hi John
   Which model Fergie did you have?  I googled around and found some photos of a TEA-20 under restoration.

   I can see the family resemblance in the layout of the engine components, and definitely some differences in the details.
   I wonder if that magneto ignition would work on a TR?  No more leaky batteries to worry about... and who needs bright headlights anyway?  ;)
