[TR] OD solenoid

[Dean Tetterton]

My experience with the OD solenoid boot (A type) has been that it
caused more problems than it prevented. They
get stiff and impede the plunger pulling in or dropping out. Only once did
a small pebble get in there and jam it. My first car was
a TR3A bought in 1964. Since then I have always had at least one and most
of the time several Triumph's. I have always had OD
on my cars.
Now down to 2 TR's
