I have seen those coils advertised in several old Ford part suppliers catalogs. I have occasionally wound my own generator coils. Made an inexpensive wooden bobbin winding mold and wound new coils with modern high temperature insulated magnet wire. To wind 12v coils I wound twice the number of turns and half the wire size (diameter) used in the six volt coil. The advantage I had at the time was working for a company that made motors so I could get as much magnet wire in any wire gauge that I needed.
