Boyer electronic ignition and handbrake cable fitting

[Venture]

Hi I have got a Boyer brensdon electronic ignition has some one fitted this and can tell me where what wires go to what. Don't huff it my be simple to some but to me it's a major op.I would also like to know which way round handbrake cables go on top of calipiers as it seems former owner had put them the wrong way acording to manual your help would be most grateful cheers D

Hi,
The BB ignition module has four wires, -ve, coil, + and CB.

The easiest way to arrange this is the to take the ignition wire from the LT connector on the coil (LT1) and splice it to also connect to the '12v', the other LT connection on the coil (LT2) now connects only to 'Coil', the original triggerwire from the points (was connected to LT2) goes to 'CB' just leaving you to find a suitable earth point on the engine somewhere (or run it directly back to the battery earth).

It doesn't matter which LT connector is which on the coil.

The handbrake cables on a RHD car should come in to both brake calipers from the nearside...

Thanks C for your reply I am still confused on my coil there 2 wires and on the connection to it it has + and - there a wire coming up from the point housing which wire goes to what I said I was a bit slow on electrics. My handbrake cables are right they had been the wrong way round from former owner at least I got that right cheers D

Hi D (Hi??)
If you're still having doubts about the wiring I suggest you talk to BB. Their tele no is

Some electronic ignition systems run a bit hot , so standard coils dont last long . Check this out with club experts and see if you need a matching coil with a heat sink cooling system or ask Boyer Bransden direct .They make "cool "coils .
