Because it's well known that if you don't use TEC points there is a very good chance you'll struggle to get the timing to set correctly, especially on 2-3 as you use up all the adjustment doing 1-4.

Cheap budget points have the pivot pin arrangement skimped on and that's most likely why they twisted out of shape.

BTW I found that dwell meter, I'll take it up to Nigels and test it against my other, so long as both work you can have it.

Laverdaroo:
Bloody marvellous on both points fella’s. Thankyou. The plate is deffo TEC and they came on it so had no reason to not think they were legit. You can tell by just looking can you?

Good info

If the points are genuine TEC ones they'll be stamped and the back plate has a sort of chequerplate design imprinted on it.

BTW genuine TEC points are mega expensive now. I sold a pair to Matt for his bike a few weeks ago.

Pics off DS website.

TEC https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/graphics/parts/30204300154_large.jpg  £36

Copy https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/graphics/parts/30204300154P_large.jpg £9

Compare the way the contact plate is attached to the moving arm, the bushing on the pivot pin is not as good as the TEC ones.. Note the design on the plate.

Laverdaroo:
Wot, like dat?
