Hi Graeme, Agree with everything Pete has said above. I to am a traditionalist, to some extent, & the simplest, & most effective way to remove the issue of the points, is to use an electronic module, that simply replaces the points. There are various types, like Hot Spark, Pertronix etc. I used an Accuspark, which are available here in Australia (Melbourne) on line. Here is a video of how simple it really is to swap the system over. About 30 mins. if you take your time, & know exactly what you've got to do, before you start. Have a look at this video, & see what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lcx_Qr0KyM I'll add a post with a link to where you can get them in Australia & cost etc. There are a few checks you should do before ordering the kit. 1. The dizzy make & model you already have fitted, as Parrot has mentioned above. 2. The coil fitted, as these small "points replacement" modules cannot handle coils with very low primary winding resistances. I've been running one for several years now, & it is faultless. In the old days, I've only had points fail on me once, whilst out on the road, but I always kept a set of points in the glove box, so never got really stuck, like your girl. P.S. The beauty of these systems is, that they use your distributor cap, where under it, is hidden all the components of this system. Someone lifting your bonnet, would never know you have an electronic system fitted. Cheers Banjo
