Hans,

This was one of the most dependable mods I made to my '59 TR3A.  I haven't 
heard of a problem like you describe being anything like a systemic failure, 
but perhaps the adapter you're talking about is different than the one I bought 
some 8 years ago.  Have driven hard for over 50k miles now, no issues.
