T-Series MGTF Xpeg Ignition Coil

Share this page

Found out that the "Lucas" coil for the T series is recessed so low that the coil wire won't make contact without putting in a filler, I used a stiff spring. The threads aren't cut deep enough, naturally! What else is new! But it does work fine after the modification. Looks like the original, hope it holds up. :encouragement:
 
As long as the spring wire diameter is thick enough it doesn't turn into a "filament" it should be fine.

No it's not a fine spring Doc, I had to keep trimming it and bending one end to make 80/90 degree contact on both ends, pretty stiff in fact.
