Hello All,

My '74 1.8 car has an ignition coil bracket with two holes in it. One is round and the other is square. I believe it to be original. Can anyone tell me if this is an original bracket and what the holes are for?

Thanks,
James

Side note: what hardware is used to mount that coil? I think it is M10 1.0 but what length and head configuration? Any washers, what type? Thanks

It took me many months to find one of those for my project...

M6 bolt with a flat washer and lock washer. I like to use an allen head bolt as it is hard to access once installed. @narp914
