earth of generator 120-130 1965

John;

Luckilly, and thank Thor, there isn't too much in the way of British electrical equipment in a 122...is there any?...come to think of it, I can't even think of ANY...just about everything was supplied by German manufacturers. I believe this is one of the reasons, they have such a good rep. for reliability. Just about the only British thing they "contributed", was the fact that all pre '70s Volvos used SAE (imperial) hardware sizing opposed to metric (except for those German electrical components). I don't feel that strongly about it (other than the fact that I had to drop more $ to buy another tool set), but for some really amusing reading check this link for someone who apparently does: http://www.metricsucks.com/

Unfortunately our 1800 owning bretheren are all too familiar with Lucas and Smiths "equipment".

Cheers
