Fitting DSS coils
Athame57:
Has anyone here fitted DSS after market coils to their CB400F? It came with an adapter kit but not for the life of me can I figure out how it is supposed to go, so I'm using one of the original masts to house one fitting and the other to tie the other to it, so although secure and working it looks odd and at a sloped angle so for how long?

I managed to fit my Dynatek Coils using both old mounts but with some cutting as can be seen in the photo is the DS replacement coil longer ?

DSS must have changed the coils they supply or you don't have the correct mounting posts. I bought new coils from DSS and they fitted straight on without any mods.

I've definitely got the right mounts. The DSS coils are a little bit longer and come with a fitting kit.

Presumably you have tried swapping the mounting posts from left side to right side at one end or even both ends to make up the length difference? You could then lop off the bit in the way if you get my drift. Alternatively you can rotate the posts and insert a simple 90 Deg bracket like on a kitchen unit type fitting.
