Jonny, If you ever get a schematic of the Lucas CDI, I would be interested in seeing how they went about it, just for curiosity's sake. That's the company that at one time stated they would never use CDI, and nor would they sell ignition components to anyone that did. Thanks, Fred

We just need to find a way to streamline the coil manufacturing.
