Is anybody else a fan of these wonderful vintage accessories?
I have fitted them to all my Sevens and latterly run them with electronic ignition. I have always found them fantastic.
But I have one question. They seem to have a very unusual output connection arrangement, which I have been puzzling about.
There is a step at the bottom of the thread for the acorn, which would appear to prevent the ignition cable from actually making contact with the coil output. Is this intentional? Is it an air gap? In which case to what purpose? I have always got around this by dropping a small nut in the void.
Anybody got any bright suggestions?
