[doc] Re: Ignition Stuff....

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John

Well its certainly a good point of discussion  ....and its not as if 
you were asking which oil you should use ...now that can be a 
arguable topic :) 

Hows the new relay compartment 'toy' have you had chance to fit it 
yet?? ...Got mine on its way.

No experience at all with these 'magical' voltage stabilizers sorry :)
