Today I got my stuff from mcmaster carr so I got to work. If anybody here works on their own car where alot of mounting is done in the engine bay you cannot be without a nut-sert tool. It's basicly a tool for setting rivets with a thread inside in places where you cannot get a nut or where it would be a pain in the *** to do so.Charlie's bracket fits this category.This way you can take the coils out, or just one, without removing the whole assembly. It's especially usefull in thin aluminum where a threaded hole could easily strip. In these pics you can see where I cut a relief for the washer hose and inserted the threaded rivets. To replace how Charlie mounts the ignitor ( which is another pia) I will weld a peice of angle and mount directly to the ignitor itself getting rid of the black bracket.







Imo these changes make a good peice supplied by Charlie great. I'll post pics tomorrow when we weld the ign mount up and in the car. Also here are my calipers I finished up. Yeah I painted my calipers,I'm a ricer lol.

 

Damn, calipers turned out NICE!

Do you have pics of the nutsert tool? I've used nutserts without the tool, and the top lip didn't seat flush, needed a little grinding.

Looks good!

That is a nice improvement. Why did'nt you stick the igniter bracket on before you set the rivnuts, to save the welding process?

 

Because mainly I didn't want to put the ignitor in that spot, the new spot is much more accessable. Pics in a few.

 

Ok here's what I did. The ignitor is WAY easier to access and every component can be easily removed independantly.









please forgive the mess and that power cable isn't staying, still righting the previous owner's wrongs

 

I like how the new bracket is placed. Looks like it will take 10 secs to remove it if you needed to

 

Looks good...though I did'nt really have a problem installing mine....

 

I didn't do it because of the installation but for the serviceability of the ignition components, and thanks

The bracket, and all components attached to it, including ignitor and coils, can be removed as a unit, in about 2 minutes. This includes disconnection of plug wires and coil harness. It really works well as it is, shipped from Charlie.

 

Impactwrench is correct, I'm just a tad **** lol.
