Major modification , The prop hub is 20 mm bigger than the bearing housing , this require that the hub needs to be machined down . If i can use the current pickup all I have to do is drill and tap new hole

not available in South Africa ; I do not want to risk failure again after spending $90 on shipping and $160 . The CH ignition cost only $85 with 2 year warranty and is readily available

Did your original EI use a Halls sensor?
