[TR] Triumph Electric Fuel Pump

[Geo Hahn]

Jeff -

I wasn't aware that Triumph offered and electric alternative but if
appearance is important then possibly any round-body Lucas pump of the era
would suit.

You'd want correct polarity and most models (genuine SU) are now available
in an electronic version as well as the original points variety.  I think
new ones will run about $200 or so.

But since they were usually mounted somewhere hidden (MGs, Healeys,
Jaguars) no one is likely to ever see it.
