Hi All

So I am starting to get my head round fitting the new coils....

As per photos below, the original wiring is coloured blue and black/white and yellow black/white the other side.

The new ones, as per bottom photo, the wires are solid red and white, so my question is, which way round do the wires go?

thanks in advance!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Are the red and white wires shown the ones on your new coil as they look very long?
If they are then look at polarity markings on the coils themselves they should be marked +ve & -ve.
As the points earth the LT side of the circuit you need to ensure that the polarity matches.
So the negative side goes to yellow or blue for the respective coils. I would consider making up wires of the correct colour.

beardylondon:
Yes, red and white wires are o new coil and yes they are supplied overly long.

Thanks for the tip!

Generic coils often do not have the wires right; not only that the colors don't match, but also the connectors have the gender mixed up: females where they should be male and vice versa. Your choice.
