Agreed. The bracketry in general is a bit goofy. I also did not much
like the fit of the light shutter on the the distributor shaft.
Admittedly, there are no forces pulling on it, and the spring force of
the tabs do keep it in place, but I'd like to see it down snug against
the land on the shaft, but pushed down that far, it binds on the light
unit.
