That wouldn`t be too bad Ron, my cowl is a new one so I wouldn`t be messing up an original part, I`ve not done anything to my Vinnie that can`t be undone & not modified any original parts.One more option. If you are willing to either desecrate an original part, or buy a new Taylor, (not made in China), cowl from Vincent Spares, you can mount the coil directly to the cowl as this ignition user did. He is using a QD disconnect for the small wires so he can remove the cowl if he wants to.

My studs are screwed into a strap with tapped holes to give more area for the epoxy to grip to. The same could apply to your approach.Hi Bruce,
My mag cowl is an alloy one, but if I could use industrial strength glue on a couple of bolts it would work well as a heat sink for the coil.
Cheers

All smart ideas but I just don't think the leading edge of a rain & crud storm is the best place for wiring and electronics however if you want it to look a bit standard and you don't go out if the forecast is wet it's acceptable. When function beats form however as in serious riding or racing high up is best.
I know it is possible to fit the standard BTH coils under the cowl with the supplied brackets as I saw it done on a new installation 2 weeks ago but it's a lot of firkeling about and is not an out of the box job
