Best bet is to get the original threaded top post Bosch condensers. You should be able to locate them elsewhere for a little cheaper than what Wildfire gets. I would not use the MFG supply condensers. True they may work but why use them when the right parts are readily available. Same goes for the points. A few bucks saved is just not worth it. With the correct parts you reduce you chance for engine failure and problems. Buy the condenser install tools and flywheel puller to make the job easier.
This is an airplane guys not a lawnmower. If your lawnmower quits it isn't such a big deal. When an engine goes silent in a Lazair it can be a big problem. This is especially true when you are low-time. Go to great lengths to learn how to do this stuff right and you will be rewarded with many hours of trouble free running.
