Charlies7 coil bracket improvements

Uncle Hungry · 03-04-2008, 08:30 PM

Today I got my stuff from mcmaster carr so I got to work. If anybody here works on their own car where alot of mounting is done in the engine bay you cannot be without a nut-sert tool. It's basicly a tool for setting rivets with a thread inside in places where you cannot get a nut or where it would be a pain in the ass to do so.Charlie's bracket fits this category.This way you can take the coils out, or just one, without removing the whole assembly. It's especially usefull in thin aluminum where a threaded hole could easily strip. In these pics you can see where I cut a relief for the washer hose and inserted the threaded rivets. To replace how Charlie mounts the ignitor ( which is another pia) I will weld a peice of angle and mount directly to the ignitor itself getting rid of the black bracket.

Imo these changes make a good peice supplied by Charlie great. I'll post pics tomorrow when we weld the ign mount up and in the car. Also here are my calipers I finished up. Yeah I painted my calipers,I'm a ricer lol.

Hey man,

Sorry I missed your PM for some reason and I just read it on the 7club. Someone must have read it on my comp at home and it didnt show up as a new message..

Anyways..

The ignitor bracket must be mounted like this...If you didnt notice that "L" shaped bracket is for the ignitor. It allows it to be mounted solid to the main bracket without any interruptions.

PIC

Either one of those angles would work. Its angle towards the firewall and clears the strut tower.

Once its installed youll love it, promise. I do admit it is a pita to install but with the pre-tapped holes you wont have any issues and youll have no more headaches when it comes to trouble shooting your ignition.

Give me a PM with further questions.

Ok here's what I did. The ignitor is WAY easier to access and every component can be easily removed independantly.

please forgive the mess and that power cable isn't staying, still righting the previous owner's wrongs
