anybody have pics of a vertex magneto on a 45" ?

i was able to get my hands on a real nice org. vertex magneto
that was meant to be on a classic volkswagen beetle engine (flatfour)

i'm pretty sure i will get things sorted out and make it ,so it will work

but before i start this huge ass operation ...i wanto see some pics iff possible ?!!

thanks guys

i've run those vertex mags on bugs before and they are the shiznit :)
i don't think it would be practical to cut one up to work on a 45 though.
are you set on useing a vertex or would another mag work ? i've been eyeballing some wico models that look promising. some wr's ran wicos'

thanks bill ,i've been playing with those wico's too
what the WR models used where the WICO XV models

^these are hard to get ,so you could use the model X instead
BUT they have complete different internals ...so some hard work to get them working on a 45"

there for i wanted to try the vertex instead ....also needs work ,but i think i can do it ;)

don't know iff its to high though ?!!
because its a HUGE MF compared to the fairbanks-morse /morris/hunt models
and even bigger than the already huger WICO magneto's

cheers philip
