Magneto Plate Keeper/Points Adjuster

Duplicate of an original from Tim Sierra and produced by Danni Suskin. Bosch distributed these with magnetos, but they’re now rare. 

It allows you to keep your spare magneto points plate safe (you put a nut on the back of the plate screw), but more importantly it allows you to adjust the point gap out of the car and thus avoid a trip to the chiropractor after you try do it with the magneto in the car.   Simply use the ring from your magneto, rotate to open the points and adjust.  The points plate is held firmly and wont rotate as the tool has the same tapered fit and keyway as the magneto does.

Hint:  Adjusting the mag points to a minimum opening gap really helps the mag life. More gap means more movement of the moving contact, more acceleration and force on the moving parts and less stress on the parts in the mag that typically fail. More gap is definitely not better.
