Rich sorry for the delay been at a show all week.
Yes the Jolley conversion continues to perform well, I must have had it in at least 5 years I think. So no regrets.
I know it is expensive especially when you compare it with a kit to convert say my Shorland which was less than 10% the cost of the Jolley. But it is that base plate & the magnetic poles on the trigger collar you are paying for.
Assuming I could source the basic module & collar, it would be very expensive & time consuming to get an engineering company to make up the base plate. I know of no other comparable kit.
If I was going to benefit from it, I thought I might as well get on with & enjoy the benefits as soon as I could.
Also the improvement in reliability over points & condenser should be seen against the stress & expense of a roadside breakdown.
The show I was at was the War & Peace Show in Kent, UK. Sadly no Humbers CT/GS there although of the 2,600 MVs there were some Pigs. Here is the award in memory of my friend who had 6 Humbers & 2 Champs + I think about 6 Land Rovers.
The brass plaque is a close copy of one removed from a Mk 2 Pig, the other side shows the award details. The recipient for the second years running was Andy Fowler with his Mk 2 pig.
