Yes, Kimosabee, it seems the coil bracket (if mounted on the
generator) is now to be red. They didn't say what shade, so I
assume same as the red fan blades. If you have a yellow fan you
might have to go Lucas Red. Got to go, I'm off to the paint
store - and right after zinc plating that sucker. Wish I had never
got into an "early" Sprite.
