NOS ignition pickup coil - how bad do you want it?

[Ccitis]

BTW, the correct gap of the P/U coils is .027" (.7 mm).

If there is paint on the screw head and they're still on the back plate, the gap is set.

Thank you!

Sorry to hijack, but does anyone know the proper gap from the sensor to the part that spins?

Hi LAB, I'm not sure if that unit would survive the environment of heat and cold more that a few years. It has never been tested because there is no documentation other than a sales ad. Maybe it would last. Maybe it wouldn't. The original equipment has lasted up to 45 years. I would spend the money on the real deal.

If I remember correctly some of the Australian members use this Sachse unit as do several German members. All without problems and i know it is hot where some of them live. I always found Sachs expensive but comparing it to that NOS part on Ebay I think I changed my mind

You saved me so many hours of research by posting this link, my project bike had this installed into it and was ripping my hair out looking for where the ignition pick up coils were on my bike. Tysm.

I've never used it but have kept it in mind just in case. It was actually another member here asking if anyone tried it out that led me to it.

For the money I'd be tempted to go with this.

Yep, I used a gauge to double check.

Thank you Phil.

The thread pitch on those is 1.0

Here is a picture of a 1980 anti-tamper screw. It looks like an M6. Part # 3H5-81674-00-00.

I found that a 78 has a conventional pan head screw (they must have changed due to dealership warranty issues of customer tampering) part # 97885-06030-00. The middle of the part number states it's a M6 x 30mm length. I'm guessing the thread is 1.25mm.

Nice shoulder bolt. M8 X 1.25 threads?

Thanks speedlimit85, that does not sound too bad.

I used a drill to remove the heads of the tamper proof bolts and then removed them by hand.
