I have a complete set of two coils and two igniter boxes on the mounting plate so can be swap whole no messing around. Looking for £100 as moved up to class A and have no need for them. See you at Brands and welcome to the fold.

Sorry for my ignorance, are the items you are selling the type I already have fitted to my bike or a Ignitech? Though I am interested either way.

I'm selling what you already have fitted however I did a back to back with the Ignitec on the dyno vs. the original set up and it made no difference power wise so you would be paying for reliability.
The reason I still have a spare set is after 3 years of racing in class B I never had either the coil or igniter box fail so you could argue these are as reliable. Always thought it would be handy to have a spare set I could swap over in one go, these got Mark H out of trouble at Brands in 5 minutes.

Mark must have had reliability issues, probably something that didn't plague Tom when he owned the bike

It is swings and roundabouts plus luck of the draw

There are always a few Options

Run without spares and hope for the best
Buy a spare set up cost circa £100 and be covered
Buy Ignitech, possibly sell original igniters to get some of the outlay back

Thanks for the offer of spares, but since making the post I have made the plunge and brought an Ignitech as a back up which arrived today, this will give me a back up for Brands.
