I think they're torque studs. Standard items that hold the coils on and most motor factors & tool suppliers stock item.

cheers andy, think ive found them 2 off,

i was looking at the wrong bolts!!!! :embarassed:

1 thing i did notice whilst looking around the coil, there is a earth strap connected to mine,which then connects at the other end onto the engine(i assume??)

mine was not connected to the engine, it was just daggling about in mid air at the back of the engine.

could this cause problems when starting/running?????or will it still be the coil??

i have reconnected it all back up,and im gonna see how it goes...just in case that's all it was????
