    I made up a coil using 7/16 bar stock for a
    battery ignition. While it would produce a
    spark it was obviously weak. This has lead
    me to believe that stacking more plates on
    top would be OK but placing them along
    side might possibly effect the spark. Only
    an opinion. I didn’t have a coil tester at that
    time to compare the output. Using plastic
    for shims is only slightly increasing the
    thickness of the coil covering and the plastic
    is also much easier to fabricate into shims.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
