Here's an update for my coil on plug set up.

I used two plates of 3?16" aluminum and machined them to fit then welded the two plats together. Because

of the weight of the coils, I used pressed fit stainless steel threaded inserts. I redrilled and

counterbored the coil to use 10/32 cap screws to be the exact length to not sit flush with the backside

of the mounting plate.

The igniters mount directly under the coils hidden away on the opposite side. Since these are so light I

just threaded the plate and used 8-32 cap screws. I milled the cap screws down to also be the exact

right length to not stick out, not just for looks. But they would hit the coils if sticking out past the

mounting plate.

The fins were milled then beveled to aide in the heat dissapation as well as to add some asthetics.The

hole you see in front of the coils on the bottom plate is for the wires to go from the coils to the

igniters. These wires will not be seen when looking from above. The wires that from to anf from the

dizzy will be ran across the bottom side and will also be completely hidden. I will show this in my next

update.

So far I am liking the outcome, I have only the two mounts left to make. I already have one drawn up, I

just need to mill it.

slots, and counterbore work:
