Glass tape

Post by Myxr6turbo » Thu Oct 14, 2021 5:10 am

Has onyone found an online store that sells the glass tape at a reasonable price and will ship to Australia? I just can't afford a new magneto at the moment on top of everything else.

Thanks guys.

Might start by doing a search "mtfca rebuilding magneto" There have been recent post that should have companies and suggestions for getting the tape.
Also so, edit your title. When I saw it, was thinking glass setting tape, not wrapping the coils on the magneto. That should help get more views. Click on the pencil, that will open the edit window.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I don’t know how much your tape is broken? If it’s some magneto, you could use transparent epoxy as well. I did Personally To fixe an issue with 2 round magneto and it’s work properly.

It's pretty bad. I don't think I would trust it.

Shawn,
You don't need glass tape for bobbin plate repairs, I have repaired many > 30 volt AC Model T bobbin plates and rewound and taped thousands of >240 volt AC coils using linen tape. The important item is the insulating varnish used to secure the coils from vibrating. Where are you in VIC ? Send it over the boarder and I will fix it for you ......n
