Carry the old complete dizzy as a spare - just in case. I much prefer to see the coil mounted vertically, and off the engine (away from the vibrations and heat).

do you know Roy that had crossed my mind a wee while back when i noticed that if i was running the engine it seemed that if I touched it i could feel it vibrating more than any other part perhaps as it was perched atop and I also noticed one of the connections was working its way loose and as you said the heat at this point wont be helping it if fact would reduce its working life perhaps
yes next on my to do list is get it fixed to the side of the inner wheel arch
cheers for that Roy
