Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Emerald Isle coil is made in Taiwan.

Well I saw a T and an AI and I jumped at Thailand! Ooops...!

Morning all.
Here's a small update and (of course) a question.
I soaked all the parts, cleaned with a toothbrush and all steel parts where WD40 sprayed and wiped down.
All small fasteners/washers seen here where replaced with stainless items that I happened to have (very small metric sizes).
I recall that I bought a new capacitor and some new contact points when I first got this bike, so lucky me - I found them!
Only thing I need now in order to process is this new blue plastic magneto, new felt for those contact points and get rid of the copper horns.
I also went again through the valves setting and found out that on one side I was not very brilliant last attempt. Fixed that.

While disassemble the module, a washer fell of from somewhere and although I took it apart very carefully, this one skipped and I don't know where it should go back to. I think its some kind of a fabric material (isolation washer?) but I might ne wrong here. I think it is nr. 8 in Salis picture. I marked it with red.
Will appreciate any help here.
Thanks and a nice weekend all.

Nope.
8 is integrated inside the point's bracket.
Could it be nr. 11?

Yes
Tommy

Tried it, won't fit the shaft that is too thick.
I now see that 11 is a circlip on my module.

Maybe one of the old insulators from the screw that connects the cap and mag wire
your new point plate has new washers built into it for the screw
Tommy

I thought so too, but even in the old there are built-in insulation discs inside.

Can I damage something if I will trial and error here?
