I got the semi-transistor ignition (The original blog was written on 15th Oct. 2007)

My Alfa had the original point-type ignition system with Magneti Marelli distributor.  I thought it was not bad but I wanted to try a bit more updated system, and looked for something.  

Recently I found and successfully bid the semi-transistor ignition system at the auction.



With this new item the ignition system of my “onboro ALFA” would become the semi-transistor system with the Marelli distributor, which was recommended by some Alfa Romeo specialist in Japan.


The semi-transistor system was not arrived yet, but I was looking forward to receiving it.

After drying 1 day , it became like this....

Disassembled the clutch master cylinder again. Now I can do it very quickly because I disassembled brake master and clutch master cylinders many times J Heated and removed the solder at the piston hole. I used the soldering iron instead of the burner because I heard giving too much heat on piston should be avoided. In this time , according to the advice from my friend , the repair method is to screw in the thread with strong adhesive into the hole , then grind the thread head to make the piston surface flat.  In order to do it I bought bolts and a grinding stone at the hardware store. Cutting the bolt to adjust the length to fit the hole depth.  Engrave the minus groove at the cut bolt head to make screwing in possible ...
