I guess I gotta pipe in here, Dan is good. Not only does he thoroughly
understand British car electrics, he was kind enough to help me out on some of
my garage re-wiring. He's just an all around good guy.

>> Well, I am not selling the book, Dan Masters is. The title is "Triumph
>> TR250-TR6 Electrical Maintenance Handbook".
>>
>> This is written, obviously, with TR owners in mind, but since all
>> British wiring systems of that era, including MG's, are so similar, I
>> have no hesitation recommending the book to MG, Sunbeam, Jenson & other
>> British car owners.
>>
>> The book includes some basic theory, general information regards auto
>> electric's, systems, general trouble shooting, etc.
>>
>> Then the book really gets down to the nitty. Step by step diagnostics,
>> wiring diagrams of specific circuits, and an explanation of what is
>> going on in readable, understandable terms. Upgrades and modifications
>> are covered, & complete wiring diagrams for various years TR's are
>> included.
>>
>> While the book may not make you another Edison or Lucas(?), you should
>> be able to fix almost any electrical problem you will ever encounter in
>> a British car of that era or earlier. The Author, Dan Masters, has been
>> a contributor to the MG & MGV8 lists, and some of his work can be seen
>> in the tech section of the Vintage Triumph Register web site. Triumph
>> Club price was $28.00, general price $35.00- listers can probably get
>> the $28.00 price.
>>
>> Contact Dan directly at < danmas@aol.com > I have no connection
>> beyond helping friends, Dan & my fellow listers. If this bit of a
>> commercial/book review of a serious work by a fellow hobbyist, intended
>> to help other hobbyists offends someone on the list, so be it. It has
>> more list value than many recent & ongoing topics, in my opinion.
