Kiajon Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Does it connect to the the same connector as the condenser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Yes. I think it should have a very similar thin brass eyelet on the end of the wire. Edited May 14, 2020 by NonMember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiajon Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 And the correct connector looks like....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sorry, started to say that in an edit. It should be similar to the one on the condenser but, I think, not quite identical. The edges have some shape and you want the crimped bits not to clash. However, short of buying a correct new wire, you can probably get away with any eyelet of the right internal diameter.

Kiajon Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 So it should be attached somewhere else, not to the place where the points and condenser are joined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Just now, Kiajon said: So it should be attached somewhere else, not to the place where the points and condenser are joined? No, what I'm saying is that on my spare points and the spare points in the dizzy I have the points, condensor and black wire to the coil are all effectively 1 part. See picture here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/1888132959?iid=310262031938&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=310262031938&targetid=878161781224&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046671&poi=&campaignid=9437867654&mkgroupid=94751713814&rlsatarget=pla-878161781224&abcId=1139366&merchantid=7408344&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7tWMn56z6QIVT-3tCh2TSAnQEAQYAiABEgLrQvD_BwE They are all 1, with crimped joints - so I'm not sure why your new points didn't come with the black wire already attached?

Kiajon Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Interesting. I ordered them from the tssc shop so I assumed everything was correct. I'll check back with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I've seen both styles. The "all-in-one" is probably a late version to reduce production costs, while increasing repair costs because it forces you to replace everything at once, although that's often not a bad idea. The earlier distributors (certainly all 25D types but some 45D too) had the separate bits with connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiajon Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 The ones I've fitted do match the ones I've taken out. Just need to crimp a connector on the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiajon Posted May 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Cheers for the service advice. The whole gear change seems alot smoother since I changed the gearbox oil. The old stuff looked grim and smelt horrible. Then again it had sat doing nothing for 15 years! I'd look grim and smell terrible if I'd sat doing nothing for 15 years. 8 weeks lock down has taken its toll! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
