I just picked up exactly the same cap from my local factors for £11
I got the cap, rotor, coil & amp all for £68... that little lot would have been £125 at GSF
Point taken Mike but as I only do 2k a year £23 for cap & arm(Lucas) I'll give 'em go, 'though I wont be binning the originals just in case
The ignition amp came with a satchet of clear goo, is this a heat transfer paste? as the only stuff I've ever known has been white.

I thought that too, so I asked at the factors about Motaquip stuff and without any prompting he said Citroen used Motaquip products
Mike, did your Citroen supplied cap have brass or alluminium contacts?
Rob I'll let you know how the amp performs.
Very. Silver is best, followed by copper, gold then alluminium & brass. Alluminium alloys & brass are a cheaper alternative to copper and at the very high voltages an HT coil works at are fine.
In theory you can but it takes a lot more amps than steel to melt as it's far more conductive, it's the resistance of the wire that generates the heat to melt it, it all depends on the power of your kit, you'd probably need to use argon as well to prevent the ally from oxidising.
