Phil,
Why???????????? Are you deep into pain???????????? As you prolly know
they have no advance mechanism. Luckily the Flatty will only need 25 degrees or
so total advance, making starting one with the 6v starter on 12v possible
provided the engine doesn't " kick" and bend the unsupported bendix end of the
armature.
Savage Magneto in Hayward, CA (510)782-7081 has rebuilt them for some of
the nostalgia guys. I don't believe that there are any parts around for them.
A Vertex converted to fit into a 49-53 8-BA front cover will work much
better...........Ardun Doug
