quote green thumbs:
For discussion sake
a Repco Phelons laminate measured about .500″ wide by abour .365″ top to bottom.
OMC laminate measured abour .400 wide and about .475 top to bottom
These may/may not be representative laminates or precise measurements.
It would appear that the required fitting would not require much in way of grinding
IF coil can be turned 90 degrees.
I have not yet tried this conversion but I am following discussion closely.

I believe that the older KE4 with Bendix ignition could be converted as a unit if flywheel, cam and magneto plate assembly from a Repco Phelon 514 C can be sourced.

Louis, what motor used the Phelon setup you referenced?
