    Use corona dope & very thin fiberglass cloth to relocate hi voltage terminal to clock correctly the output terminal sandwich & insulate new wire  terminal location. The fiberglass cloth & corona dope are insulators. Use flat braded wire for clearance. Corona dope can be found at MG Chemicals on line. It is an insulating coating & holds the wire in place. It insulates up to 35.000 volts & loooks like fingernail  polish. Bond a strip of glass cloth to wire path, lay in braided & add wire braid & recoat with glass cloth & corona dope. Let dry between coats. Corona dope was developed for high voltage insulating coatings with flyback transformers, cathode ray scanning beam outputs. Look it up & read please. Comes in a small glass container & has applicator brush. I have used this on a few green tank Mercurys. Be sure to ground the second hi-volt output terminal converting to a single fire coil. It works very well!!

    Corona dope is listed as 4226 clear insulating varnish at MG chemicals & that page shows Super Corona Dope. Also look in MG chemicals for braided wire under desoldering wicks for braided wire.
