G/day from OZ.
Not had a lot to do with magnetos, ran one on a 69 commando I had years ago with the the mag mounted on the rear case where the original chain driven timing set up resided.
Looking at a timing cover mounted mag for my rebuild. Don't like electronic ignitions as I have had them fail in the past.
There are a few suppliers, JS included, but I got access to a unit came off a Shovelhead Harley (mag only) and wondering if the correct base and mounting arrangement were used, would it work. Are they the same? (mag only)
I seem to recall, correct me if I'm wrong, but Triumph units rotate in the opposite direction so they wont work. I have access to lathe and mill so no problem with the extra bits needed.
Thanks in Advance.
