Does anyone rebuild magneto coil rings. I know the parts suppliers sell rebuilt ones but is anyone doing at their own shop since Wally S. passed away a few years ago?

Yes, he advertises in the other club's publication - William & Deanna Lucius - email: bdluciusatbrightdotnet - you know how to repair the email !

They will be at hershey c4i 29-31 wednesday

Thanks for the information! Appreciate it. I’m thinking about putting together one more engine and have a couple of decent looking mag rings but don’t want to take a chance with a “good used one”.

They are the only people still doing them, as far as I know about, and they are doing an excellent job.

I bought two of their rebuilt coils at the Luray meet and two more after I got home, as they looked so good and spares might be difficult to find later, like the copper head gaskets are now.

For readers from EU we have one here in Denmark doing just that: Ole Frandsen, e-mail: fordtservice@gmail.com

Can someone post the cost to get them done?

I think it’s right at $200 but that was at Chickasha this year before the inflation started showing up in materials. I bought 2.

I would NEVER redo a coil for what folks charge retail for the work...it is a gift to the hobby.
