Contact breaker points
Ken4004:
Ok thanks Ken
Oddjob:
IIRC TEC points have welded contacts, a superior bushing system on the pivot point and some other things. There’s so info on the web about them. Daichi are well known for being bad, there symbol is a 3 bladed propeller. They used to have plain metal base plates but they started doing checkerboard plates like TEC so as to look like those.
Bryanj:
The original Daichi were quite good then several years ago production moved to china, i think, and quality went total crap.
I have several sets of Union points, which were supposedly made in Japan, i asked Mark Paris if he had heard of them and he had but had no idea on quality although had not heard anything bad.
As a one off i would part with a pair for £15 plus p&p, Kens offer is a good one and worth it if you want long term reliability
Oddjob:
I wonder if you just used the TEC 1-4 points if the pattern points would time up on 2-3?
I have 4 pairs of 1-4 in a bag on the coffee table right now. They weren’t cheap and came from American. Postage was very expensive.
Ken4004:
Hi Ken I have the original set of 1-4 points I’ll swop those with the new points and see if they will set up correctly thanks, I’ll let you know how I get on.
