GK76a coil placement.
Hi Guys,
The wife and I are rebuilding a GK76a from a box of bits and are making reasonable progress, but have come up against a couple of issues.
The main issue is where to mount the coils. We have the coils and can make out what connections to make where, but cannot see how to mount the coils themselves to stop them rattling around!
Is there a bracket on which they are bolted?
Does anyone have a picture of their bike with the tank off, so we can see just where everthing goes?
Thanks for any help!
Alex.

Re: GK76a coil placement.
the coils bolt up on the back of the headstock.
there is a bracket that spaces them away. almost impossible to get a picture to show what you need it is really tight in there.

if you can while you are there get some of the loom that goes down the back of the coils.morris147 wrote:Ill try and get pics, its easier without an engine in the way
make sure your connector covers are not the wrong way up so they hold water. Its suprising how many i have seen like it.
