Thanks for the link interesting conversion! I know a LHS owner that has been experimenting with the glowplugs made for gasoline engines in other glow engines to see what works so an ignition pack isn't necessary. I am waiting for his report.
Oh by the way what kind of Triumph are we talking about here two or four wheels? I had the four wheel variety, a 59 TR3A great car! I garaged it in winter and there was always the excitement of discovery of what broke when I taking it out for the first time in the spring. The broken Clutch master cylinder spring was a particular interesting event on year. I'll spare you the joke on why Englishman drink warm beer.
Old Fart sorry to hear about the hardrive, another reason airplanes are better than women!
In view of the Aussie requirements to be a Maroon I shall refrain from making the suggestion we start a Maroon brotherhood!
Aussies are a strange lot then my judgement could be somewhat colored from having a close friend from Tasmania (the Arkansas of down under) and we all know nothing good ever came out of that bunch.
