Rice Racing M&W CDI COP Set-up

In for a set of the new compact design. I'll just make a bracket for my AC and alternator that clears the coils.

My gut feel at this stage says that will be the option I stay with, sorry you have to modify stuff, but these coils are very odd in the mounting and size, I'll keep working on it and if I come up with something amazing will post it I could be wrong though, wont be the first time will explore the vertical mounting options.

OK I have tried every permutation of angle offset on the COP adaptors and IGN-1A and stacking vertically is a fucking nightmare, because the coils are Asymmetric it means there is very odd arrangements for the Fr and Rr coil modules (and it just looks shit house as well). The is no elegant solution available around that coil design except to mount them horizontally as I have in my compact 2nd version.

If packaging space is an issue I'd say stick with ign leads and where ever you mount your coils, or go race car spec, or wait till I design the CDI (latest gen M&W coil version).

The IGN-1A style coils are just fucked for packaging as you can see. done the best I can with it, so unless I dream of a solution then this will be it for these........................

That's 90*. I said 180*. . In the original version the long side of the coil is facing forward. Flip it so the long side is toward the back. My guess is it still won't provide enough room for the AC compressor. I tried this a couple years ago. It's tight in there!

See what I can come up with, this way will clear as best it can and not interfere with heater coolant pipe as well, otherwise I would have spun it other way!

And this way the coils smash into each other and there is ZERO room for a mount on the center plate...........

Not possible to fit a proper mount in ~6mm space (plate + fastener).... well I would not feel good about it, I could recess something in not a worry I suppose, but add to that you will need to file down the tabs on the IGN-1A's as well as there is interference there too.
