With no pictures I am not sure which coil you have, but guessing it is the one that has 2 brackets on the outside to use to attach to mounting bosses on the motor….I do 3 d printing and I am currently designing Resin printed tube to allow a modern coil to be installed that will fit in this application.. I have 2 motors here one is a 1934 Speeditwin, the other is a 1933 Elto Lightweight Model # 444.  Both use this type of coil…

The system will allow easy access to let one replace the coil, plug wires and such without dealing with that blasted nasty tar…

I am making progress…

Tried posting pics. Says file too large.  Yes.  My coil is just over 5″

I’ll get the measurements of the replacement coil and post them here by tomorrow.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

These are the coil dimension. Your OK length wise.
It would be a tight fit if your coil tube dia, is the same as this one.

This is someone’s remedy for this same situation. I don’t know what coil it is exactly that has screw on terminals and nuts, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if you don’t mind the look.

Found at the previous Constantine meet.

That’d be fine by me.     Never seen a coil like that
