Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
Well, thought I'd at least post what I have to see if anybody actually needed any. Nothing worse than having a dead horse in the stable.....

The screw will be replaced with a brass rivet. Also, the brass terminals will be stamped... this one was fashioned by hand. I added this picture to show more detail: Last edited by DzusFast; 10-23-2013 at 07:07 PM. Reason: add picture |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
I do the Harman Collins dual coil here in Seattle. If whomever is going to do this, I
would be interested if they make both the rotor and the inner cap. I would like to see the inner cap made without the primary connections as part of the inner cap. They are a major source of high tension shorts, so I bring out the primary differently. Put me in for a dozen if this gets out of the planning stage. Gary |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
DzusFast,
Send the sample to Bubba for testing. If it works as designed, we'll be lined up at your door. |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
I want a couple even before testing! Gotta be better than my broken one...and I'm betting on it being a lot better, given the source and care shown so far.
(I assume you'll be mentioning this on the HAMB...that'll likely bump you from potential dozennaire to potential zillionnaire!) |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
A lifesaver!! I had considered selling my HC due to a bad rotor, now I can hopefully run it.
Put me down for a couple. |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
And start tooling for that blasted lower cap!
I have bits and pieces from some of those stock Ford (59) cap dual coil conversions...these are interesting because they made the conversion with no need for any extra plastic or much more technology than a drill press...they simply added a contact to the back end of the stock rotor and screwed in a brass ring around the center of the cap! I think they used same type plate conversion as HC, though there are no labels on the partial distributors I have to prove anything. If someone simply made brass rings and tabs, and accurately drilled some points plates, that would be a cheap and easy conversion replicating an actual traditional part. It would make sense to do it with some compact common points, too, like '60's Mopar or '50's Ford. It seems silly to chase down weird old magneto points from antique cement mixers and aircraft for a simple conversion on a fairly low RPM battery ignition. |

Re: Harmon Collins Rotors ?????
Looking forward to hearing how it works. Bubba is working on some of my H/C distributors right now.
I'll spread the word about this project and try to drum up some more interest for you. Now, I wonder how long before Drake starts shipping back-orders on the caps? Neal |
