I don't think my '68 Commando came with a coil mounting bracket like later models. Since it was a basket case it is a puzzle to me.

It did have the mounting "bands" like later models. Did this model use a bracket? If not, how are the coils mounted?

(I keep in mind the only "dumb" question is one not asked!!)

Hi - As far as I know the 68 & 69 had a coil holder mounted in the same location as the latter Commando's.

It was designed narrower & bolted on the left side only (of the front gas tank suppport). If you need a pic let me know as have one from my 69 with the coils still attached...

Hi Biker-man,
A picture would be a great aid. The '68 parts book does not help much!

Please PM to: chasesa@gmail.com
Thanks!
Stephen
