B]What do you do when you can`t get it from your supplier? Make your own! Out of the need for a magneto, I scratch built my own.
Tools & Material: Miter box, Zona saw, drills, measuring device & super glue.
I used K&S Aluminum tubing in 1/16,3/32,1/8,5/32,3/16 sizes, You could use brass or evergreen tubing.
Cut to length: 1/16-.625,3/32-.500,1/8-.400,5/32-.400,3/16-.300. Put a tiny bit of glue on the end of each tube as you slide the inside each other. Make all the ends flush except the 3/16, make it flush with the bottom of the 5/32. After it has dryed start with a small drill bit and work yourself up to a .063 hole in the end of the mag as per pics. Paint the cap Flat Brown, glue 8 pieces of plug wire in the hole and instant Magneto. Drill a .063 hole in the engine block , glue mag and your ready to fire that bad boy up. Hope this helps out .
RonR WHOOPS Pics are in reverse order
Pic of finished mag would not edit, so you will have to check out my phtobucket to see it.
