The points gap is 15thou, or 0.4mm in new money.

Make sure the little earthing wire is connected under the condenser but the wires on the points are insulated - only touching the spring.

Shouldn't matter as long as it is earthed, and not stretched tight.

not exactly the same but all the principles are. Also have a look in the topic pinned at the front of the problems section.
