The rubber band is just temporary...really. The coil is too small for the stock bracket which is cool. The new bracket doesnt fit the same way.

Is that a Mallory dizzy? If it is, are you using a Mallory CD box also?

Inner tube.
Wrap the coil with a 2" wide strip until it's large enough to be held by the old clamp.
I actually use bug weather stripping, which is just a wide flat strip.

My 3/4 engine tin has two weld-nuts that the stock blue-coil bracket bolts onto. It would be just to the right of the distributor, right behind where it says ZUNDFOLGE 1-4-3-2 ...Seems factory...dont they all have this?

Kargeek,
Nice looking engine compartment.
What kind of breather box is that and where did you get it? I have an old VW-style CB Performance type that I really don't care for.
Also, what are you using for those right-angle breather fittings?

My breather box is an aftermarket VW type. It had ribs on the top- I milled them off so the top was flat. You can also grind them off with a belt sander. I mounted the box using a cut down 1.7 heater fan mount. The right angle breather fittings are also VW - don't know where I got them- I may have a few in my stash bins if you need some. Dave Hall

I took a 1" length of 2" copper drainage pipe, cut a quarter inch out of it lenghways (so it looks like a C shape) - slid it over the new coil, and then used the stock clamp. Works like a charm. Don't overtighten the stock clamp because the sheetmetal can tear (Damn PO).
Fiid.
