Verner 3VLA Ignition mounting
« on: November 24, 2025, 05:44:00 PM »
My Verner has the dual ignition option.  Which means double-trouble finding a place to mount the coils.  Where have you folks mounted your coils?  My first thought is pictured.  I might consider using only one of the ignitions and just leave a dead spare plug in each cylinder.

I mounted mine on the back side of the firewall with some (probably unnecessary)vibration mounts. You might have enough room to piggy back both sets, one on the back, one on the front. Hey, you spent the big bux for dual ignition, use em.  :)

Since these birds don't have a cowl to hide the ugly, I'm hoping to not mount anything on the firewall except holes.  Besides after building this firewall from 321 SS x .016" I realized 321 might not have been such a good choice as it bends realy easy.  So not a great candidate for structural use.  Thanks.

Re: Verner 3VLA Ignition wires

OK, so I've decided to mount the coils as pictured a few posts ago.  Now...

I like things all neat and tidy with all wires neatly bundled.  But neatly bundled spark plug wires is generally a no-no.  On the other hand these are not exactly high intensity coils (don't think so anyway).

What have you done with your ignition-wires.  Bundled or kept far apart?

Kept apart, but not far apart.
