Just wondering, the debate between this unit and the original points has al=
ways been that you can replace the points in the event of a failure on the =
side of the road. How difficult is it to replace this unit in the same mann=
er if you carried a spare, and what would the cost be for that spare? I'm r=
eferring to a1958 Bugeye here.
