I'm no originality nazi but in this case I am trying to keep the car
original. I wouldn't hesitate a minute dropping a gear reduction starter in
either the TR6 or the TR8 but those cars are not original nor is that a
consideration. But the attraction of the TR3 is that it is so anachronistic
and I
want to keep it that way.
Positive ground and all.
Thanks
Dave
