Ignition puzzle

[Tony Griffiths]

I’ve had a lot of issues with “new” coils over the last 18 months.


I use rivnuts on the bulkhead for coils and cut outs.

When I retrieved PL the floor had been mangled - presumably to get the engine and box out in one piece. Rather than weld the floor back, I thought it easier to make up a repair plate and use rivet nuts; if I need to get the engine out, it'll be a lot easier.

All my ignition components are nearly as old as the cars as I don't trust Chinese stuff.

eBay can provide the occasional "Made in England" coils that should, presumably, be OK - if you really need one. I doubt that anyone has gone to the enormous trouble of manufacturing forgeries.
