For any listers that are relatively new (since 2000) to the list, you may
wonder what all the electrical references to Dan Masters and his wiring
diagrams are all about. It was around 2000/2001 that Dan "dropped off the
list" to devout a lot of time to writing his Electrical Maintenance Handbook
for all makes and models of the TR. These books correct the mistakes of the
original diagrams and include not only a correct wiring diagram, but
hundreds of pages of troubleshooting procedures. To give you an example of
the completeness of his handbook, the book I have covers the TR250-TR6 and
includes separate wiring diagrams for: TR250, '69 TR6. "70-'71 TR6, '72 TR6,
'73 TR6, '74TR6, '75 TR6 and '76TR6. In addition to 8 separate wiring
diagrams (each one on 11x17" paper), it has 180 pages of electrical
maintenance and troubleshooting procedures...written in simple terms i.e.
Triumph Wiring for Dummies. I believe that Dan has done the same book for
the TR2/3 and the TR4. I don't know if he's done the TR7/8. I'm sure someone
else on the list can answer that. Once Dan did the manuals he moved on to
developing a "state of the art" wiring harness for assorted TR models that
should eliminate all of the Lucas "demons". Unless you're maintaining your
car for concurs correctness, I don't know why anyone would re-wire their car
with any harness other then Dan's. His costs less and is of far superior
quality.... Plus he provides email and phone technical support!

Sorry about the shameless plug for Dan but I felt that there may be a bunch
of newer Listers who have never heard of Dan, his expertise or his products.


Fred, Randall, Ken, Irv.... Anything you guys care to add? You know Dan way
better then I do.

NFI..but a fan of Dan :-)and diving back into finishing my new harness after
a holiday break.
