[Mg-t] Blinkers & Shaved Heads

[Bud Krueger]

John,

In a word, the answer to your question is "no".  The 3.022" figure is 
the stock head thickness for a standard TD head.  The heads used with MK 
II TDs and TF 1250 measure 2.959" and they use the same push rods.

Then I (finally) replaced the Lucar vacuum switch with a simple toggle switch. Not original, but should work better and last longer.  I had well over $200 in getting the Lucas switches "fixed" and they never last long after the repair. I had also bought a new one and it didn't work at all. So I will toggle my way to happiness from now on.
