Guys,
The caps in the picture are not the ones Bill suggested for me to order ! These that I ordered are a little different looking and are less than a 1/4″ square, each end has a metal surface that you can solder to. Actually there are two options for mounting them ! For those that want the magneto to look authentic you can mount them in the old condenser can and solder a wire to each end of the cap, then solder one end to the condenser can and run the other wire out to connect to the points connection. Because these caps are so tiny you can fill the condenser can with epoxy and they look just like the original ! The mounting depends on the motor you are replacing them in !
The other option is if you’re not a purest, after you solder the wires on, coat the capacitor with a little epoxy and put a piece of shrink tube over it. I mounted these in a 10hp Scott Atwater and was able lay them under the coil laminates and wired them in with plenty of room. And they worked great !
