I'm going to rebuild the ignition system, but could someone confirm the part in the pic is the lubricating felt as per the Haynes manual and part number?
I can't find it on CSMNL to order a replacement.
Bryanj:
Yes it is but i dont think there is a seperate part number, if you are fitting new points and condensers its cheaper to buy the complete points plate from Dave Silver 30200-300-154.
Its £99 plus drat and shipping BUT condensers from Honda are £46 plus EACH and points £ 28 EACH.
There is a lot of people on the US forum condeming aftermarket condensers as failing quickly and points as not accurate, personally i have not had a problem but the batch of condensers i bought was nearly 20 yrs ago
juitz:
I have already purchased some aftermarket points and condensers from eBay. Prices nothing like the Honda parts though. But if reliability is a concern then I may go the David Silvers replacement - its only another £100 right! 😰
Note that I am going to be running this with the Hondaman ignition system.

That's another century to add to that lining in the money pit to stop cash leaking out
Bryanj:
If you have the Hondaman kit the condensers dont matter as much as current accross points is minimal
