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.
