Oops. I meant to say that Ken's article appeared in the Triumph Tribune
(newsletter for the Triumph Register of Southern California), not the
Standard (newsletter for the Southern California Triumph Owners
Association).
To get a copy, write to :
TRSC Regalia
c/o Dick Ames
27301 Via Rioja
Mission Viejo, CA 92691
Current price is $15, proceeds benefit the club.

According to Ken, it can even be done on the car, if you're desperate
