Buccaneer,

With your timer being aluminum, I think the points would be easier, the wiper type timer need a insulating ring unless you make it like the Ferro timer.

Jim, I was experimenting this morning with a few sets of different points I had
laying around, and none of them were a good fit. I thought I’d have plenty
of room inside the timer housing, but not so.
Therefore, I was thinking of something similar to the Ferro type in your photos.
I was thinking of using a spring portion of a set of points for the contact.
Thanks.
