I think any future bike show would be pleased to display your bike when it's finished, but in the "for a ha-pence of tar" Department, that locking screw for the adjustment on the points needs a plain washer on it at the very least. you can see that the head of the screw is barely larger than the adjustable slot, which is asking for trouble in the future.
To be perfectly honest, I've never noticed that !! I'll have to check the other bike when I get a minute to see what that one has fitted as it too runs exactly the same magneto & while it's not done a massive mileage, only a few thousand, it's not been a problem. That's not to say it won't be a problem or that it can't be improved. If the other one is the same I will contact Morris & see what they say, it could be that they've forgotten to fit plain & spring washers, I'll know though when I have a look & compare the two magnetos.
So Chris, it appears that the photo of mine in the earlier post, showing a top view of the magneto/points, is a bit deceiving ! There are actually two washers fitted under the head of the screw, a thin steel washer under the screw head & what looks like a brass washer under that. I didn't want to remove the screw as I've set the timing & didn't want to disturb it, (solely because I couldn't be arsed re-timing it !! ) The picture below is the same screw, but from the side & shows the "missing" washers clearly
That's great, i'm sure you'll fit them next time now and i fully agree with the fitting of the "compliance" brass washer, but the diameter is still not big enough. Was just about to add that i wouldn't fit a split-lock, or spring type of locking washer here, because they can "kick" slightly upon final tightening affecting the adjustment you just made, which can be frustrating. The grippy brass washer is a good alternative, but needs to be a bigger diameter ideally.
