This Blog is mainly the trials and tribulations of living with various Triumphs - my current car is a 1969 Vitesse Convertible running Lucas PI and a few other modifications. It wasn't built by me and when I acquired it, it hadn't been on the road for many years. The object is to get it back running and pick up where the previous owner left off. I've had a Triumph or two over the last 30+ years including Herald, several Vitesse, 6 pot Spitfire, Mk1 2.5PI saloon, TR6 and now back to a Vitesse
I needed an inertia cutout switch for the PI - there are original Lucas ones out there but they seem to go for silly money. As this is a safety thing - in an accident it will shut off your fuel supply - I thought I might just spash out and buy new - eBay of course! They were cheap so I bought two :-)

Jason I picked up an Stag Inertia switch for a total £5.35 of ebay. There is one available on ebay at present. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4601779942&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
As a matter of interest how much were the new switches.
All the best

That's a good price mate, how did I miss that? The new ones were £7.99 inc each. Contact the guy through this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4598083701&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 he has loads and seems to do a bit of buying and selling of components.
