Coil Box Question
Hello. I am rebuilding a coil box to sync up with my new 1922 starter engine. When I removed the wood from the bottom of the box, I noticed that the metal (brass?) strip is secured by what appears to be rivets. There is also a wire that is soldered to one of the side rivets.
Are there any instructions available that shows how these coil boxes go together? I checked some of the parts suppliers and I did not see any rivets in their rebuild kits. Would a brass transmission band rivet work? Thanks in advance for your help. |

Re: Coil Box Question
The best rebuild is with Fun Projects waterproof plastic kit, eliminates all water worry, swelling of the wood or carbon tracking that can cause coil miss
http://www.funprojects.com/products/5000RK.cfm The lower right corner link has instructions That lower strip is held with hollow core brass rivets, you can use tubular ones too, or other rivets, best to have a hole drilled a bit into the head for soldering the wire to the rivet. |

Re: Coil Box Question
Use the brass tubular rivet. The split one will not have enough holding power.
