I recently bought a new condensor from a local classic bike shop in Southend. The owner told me that any condensor will do the job if it fits the bike. This engine has enough room to play with around the points area and the BSA condensor works perfectly. Job done.

As did I, he even gave me some wire to connect it as his one has a nut type terminal whereas the original has a captive wire, works fine which is more that could be said for the original ones I had.

A good few years ago I got a tip, It was passed on and published in jampot. This gave details of the part that could be used.
The part cost very little from an electrical parts strore like Maplins. It was something like a 4 microfarad 5000VDC certain type of capaicitor. I cant recall the details, but this thing did the same job as the old design condenser. Some electronic wizzard out there will know what I mean and perhaps explainEdited by - Rob Harknett on 23 Jun 2012 10:05:17 AM

I agree Rex nothing wrong with Wipac condensers they lasted well and are one of the good bits. I always look out for them at sales. I also agree with Colin my spares shop in Reading sold me a condenser that was off a Yamaha of all things to get me out of a problem it ran for ages (it might still be fitted thinking about it)
