Hi Hoffbug!!
No problems so far thanks to Mark at D&D in the USA. I had some electrical issues with my Nitrous controller back in August. So I by-passed the whole thing at the track (no way I was going home after paying to race) with some lashed up wires and a couple relays so I could lay on the 200 shot as a fixed hit.
I have been running this way up to close of play at Santapod in November 2008.
I have to launch real gentle off gas and then hit the button just past the tree. Not ideal as it wrecks my 60 foot time. But she still reeled in 11.5's to 11.7's so I could enjoy the end of the season.

Excuse the preamble in the video. But you see what I mean.

I cant wait to get my new system hooked up. Home brewed 200 shot on the progressive off the lights then another 50-100 as a fixed hit once I hit 3rd gear.

Thanks andy..

I'm panicking now as I've just had all my weekends booked up with work until mid Feb. So I'll be well behind on the upgrades to the MGB.

I'm going to work tomorrow and putting myself up as not available on the board for any weekends in Feb and March to try and catch up!

This way I may just make the Fast Show in March for some testing.

I assume you will fit an adpator somehwere on the cable or maybe at the pedal. What do they use on Auto / EFI range rovers?
I'm pretty sure you can also get solenoid kits to operate the kickdown from a TPS.
