[b]Subject:[/b] Re: [mg-tabc] Mags Another interesting thing about Vertex Scintilla mag was that any body either 4 , 6 or 8 could be made to fit any application by changing the base , I used to buy Scintilla Agriculture magnetos in UK with a Lucas base and have them reworked to suite MG engines , I also believe the direction of rotation was able to be changed without much issue. FYI the Arnolt aluminum side cover which had a large cutout where the distributor lives with matching "coffin" style valve cover was part of kit that Arnolt made using the gigantic Lucas Magneto which had a bigger base than a Vertex unit Joe -----Original Message-----

Subject: [mg-tabc] Mags Any one with a vintage Scintilla Vertex magneto can have same rebuilt or new advance curve installed from USA agent
http://www.taylorvertex.com/ class="ygrps-yiv-1084340439MsoNormal">Unsure about changing from + to -Ground or vs versa, but likely doable.. Likely a non XPAG specific Vertex can be rebuilt for XPAG.. I use to have a SV Ford mag back in 50 s but disappeared in many moves. Can t blame wife pitching it in an obsessive compulsive clean-up mode.
