to what i presume to be a 59d distributor?

i was given a britpart electronic ignition kit (£15 new! mini specific ones are a rip-off )
and i had a quick look, and the trigger (black ring) slides over a tinyest fraction, and sort of engages on the spindle, as it you cant turn it round on the "square" part of it, but it wont go on any further, can i find a way of fitting this by shaving down the insides slightly to get it to fit?

You question doesn't quite make sense. Are you saying the trigger ring won't fit fully onto the squared center spindle of the dizzy. If so then I've seen this mentioned before the answer seems to be to carefully trim the plastic so it does fit.

yeah lro, basically the trigger wont fit over the splindle properly, but does go on about 1mm and catches the spindle if you get me

[lrostoke]

This is the older version, the ring needs to go fully on, so only option is to trim the plastic. Although soaking it in boiling water may expand and soften it enough to allow you to push it on.

thanks again lro, youre quite a good source of information

is that a britpart kit too?

it has the same green bullet connector on as the one i have, but the blue sensor is now red and curves around the trigger

Thats the old design from when they were only just over £6

Got that fitted to 2 minis work a treat, no problems ..Can't vouch for the new design though not tried them.

[Carlzilla]

did you have to modify the trigger to fit on yours too?

[lrostoke]

No and only seen people mention the problem on the new design. probably a dodgy plastic mould

[Carlzilla]

success

the trigger is now on the cam, and the sensor fitted, but i couldnt finish it off because it started piddling it down

bad times.
