Mag coil damage
 

When replacing the transmission cover on 27 Ford , noticed 2 coil wrappings were missing some corners.
What should I use to repair this?
Don.t want to damage the mag.

Thanks, Ron

Was the MAG working? If youre not sure you should MEGGAR it... If all is good to go, get some Brakeclean spray degreaser and give it a good cleaning and some lite air to blow dry it. Mix some epoxy and brush it on neatly with an acid brush. The way a motor shop would do it is with GLYPTAL paint, but I think being oil saturated with you wanting to do an in place repair, Id use the epoxy.
Just picked some up at Retards for $14.95 / kit approx. 4-6 oz. Theres 5 minute and 60 minute stuff... yer choice!
Was the coil damaged from the starter drive? ws

Ideally, you should replace it with a rebuilt unit, but that is several days worth of labor and Bill's suggestions are a good repair. Do it right though, because if whatever you use to seal it comes off, it can plug up oil passages. I have seen what a improperly, cheap, repair has done and it wasn't pretty.
