Triumph TR6 - TR6 Ignition - help needed

Hi

My Tr6 igntition has failed; it's a Rawtronic fitted by the PO. In essence, the 'bulb' no longer lights, so I get a spark in daylight with the cap removed, but no spark with the cap in place.

I'd like to return to a 'points'-based system, but don't have the original base-plate.

Does anyone have a spare base-plate?
I'm based in Malvern. Even a loan would be good, so I can be back on the road asap.

Thx.

Please email.

Have you considered a Pertronix system? The pickup should be mountable on most any baseplate with a bit of fettling.

....methinks it's in the UK...... sometimes this board thinks it's OK to post UK member's comments as it is based there....what a cheek! ;-)

Problem fixed; sourced a s/h base-plate complete. Fitting was <5mins and the engine started first time.

Will indeed recommend Richard fits the Pertronix system at some point. I used to use one on my Aseries over many years with no problems. What I don't understand is why people fit more expensive, complex and less reliable optical systems (Hall Effect rocks).

Malvern in in Worcs (Worcestershire), England. Is that like me asking where is Riverside,Ca?
