Hi

Looks like it’s two for the Boyer system

I sent them a mail and they very quickly and kindly responded and I know they have been going for years

Cost for a complete system including their coils is £238 including post which I think I will go for as my coils look like they are original and really would rather change the complete ignition system as it make no sense upgrading from points and not replacing all

Many thanks for all the advice and will add to my build thread how I get on

Best wishes always Al

I fitted the Boyer system with coils to my CR Rep and seem fine so far - my only complaint was the connections were a bit Heath Robinson (used scotch blocks from memory - which I changed to standard bullets). I made contact with Boyer when setting up the Smiths electronic rev counter (as the pulse is different or something and messed up the signal to the rev counter) and they were very helpful.
I went Boyer as its been around a long time and I did about 30,000 trouble free miles on my Z1 fitted with Boyer in the 70's.

The advantage with the Dynatec is, unlike the Boyer (unless it's been changed) it doesn't need a circuit box.  The pickups are connected directly to the coils.  The only mod that needs to be done is to run a positive from the coils (black/white) to the points plate along side the yellow and blue wires.   I used grey coloured 3 core.

I used the rear brake lamp switch power for mine until I rewire it - also dead handy connection wise as it's in the same cluster as the wires to the coil. I don't know the cost of the Boyer - my Dynatek with coils &  plug leads with two rotors included was £355 - my Brother in Law recommended it tbh I didn't shop around much so it might be available cheaper mine came from a UK Suzuki dealer via e-bay.

I fitted the Boyer system too. The one that uses the OEM coils. Excellent system.
