Hmmm....they do not look like they will fit.  The bodies are different, and it almost looks like they have 4 holes instead of 2.

Those are the bosch ones that I used for my setup.  They are more powerful but require them to be mounted differently.  The COP Bracket that is discused in this thread is not compatible with those coils.

The initial run of brackets is complete and the hardware kit has been finalized.  Check out the group buy section or PM me for details.

Well, I FINALLY spent the time to put the development process for this onto my website.  Check out the epic tale of the M42 COP development lol.  Many thanks again to everyone who helped out!

Does anyone have a spare coil from turner?  i tried purchasing a couple more today and the link no longer works.  would the m52/s52 coils work? if not i would like to purchase two of the ones that do fit the conversion.. PM ME PLEASEEE!!

Some of the coils are the same except the extension isn't long enough. Just swap extensions. Sometimes a salvage yard will sell all six off a core head or even a good motor.

So has anyone looked into getting these brackets produced again?

Nobody has mentioned a heat resistant plastic or ABS as opposed to metal bar stock. I bet it would end up cheaper than metal. Plastic is always used on engine covers now, you just need to pick the right one.

I may look around and see what plastic would work. May be router CNC cut to size easily.

Only problem would be the need for inserts for securing the screws that hold down the coils and reinforcing around the bolts that hold the plates in place. Some hard, heat resistent plastic or FRP.

I'd love to get a bracket for a winter project.  I'm assuming no differences between an E30/M42 and E36/M42 COP setup.  Let me know if you have any available and what the price would be.

Anyone need a bracket still?  I was thinking of doing a run of 3 or 4 for some spare climbing-gear cash.  Looking at $65 shipped, payment over paypal.  If I can get at least 2 people interested, it can happen in the next 2 weeks.

Oh and this includes mounting hardware and instructions.

i'll take one.
