Hi,
I have my dizzy apart for my 1.7 D-Jet and noticed the small braided ground strap was fraying (basically no good). It is the ground between the advance plates. Is there a way I can solder something in? Regular wire looks like it isn't flexible enough. On a previous thread, The Cap'n says that the plates are probably toast? |

I did this and wrote an illustrated thread on it. I'll be damned if I can find it. If I do I'll post a link. The trickiest part is getting the solder to stick well to the plates. The key is getting it good and clean and first tinning the spots where the wire wick will be soldered and the ends of the wire.
There's some info about it and more pics in my blog. Here's a pic of my finished job: Attached image(s)
