Mr Tambs was talking about doing that a while back might also have been intending to have 6 coils but Ive not heard anything since.YAMLAM wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 2:50 pm with the new trend not to use the LT coil (Ant Tambs CDi and Readspeed Lucas CDI )

You absolutely could do just that, BUT the other 2 are in series to give 12v. So, you could put 3 in parallel and have 6v but with 50% more power.
Anthony tambs is developing a 3 phase stator which in my opinion is absolutely the best way to go. I'm not alone in this opinion though; try to find a modern bike that isn't 3 phase. As soon as they're available I'll be buying one.

If for some reason your external pick-up should pack up,you wont have an internal pick-up to switch to,because you wont have the LT coil.YAMLAM wrote: ↑Mon Mar 09, 2020 2:50 pm with the new trend not to use the LT coil (Ant Tambs CDi and Readspeed Lucas CDI )

I've been running a 5 lighting coil stator since before 5 Nations N.I. , with Readspeed Lukas. The lights are excellent.

Did you just replace the LT coil with an additional lighting coil in series with the other 4?Adam_Winstone wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:59 pm I've been running a 5 lighting coil stator since before 5 Nations N.I. , with Readspeed Lukas. The lights are excellent.

Yes, that's exactly what I did, nothing more complex than that.coaster wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:05 pmDid you just replace the LT coil with an additional lighting coil in series with the other 4?Adam_Winstone wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:59 pm I've been running a 5 lighting coil stator since before 5 Nations N.I. , with Readspeed Lukas.

I was out and about in Oxford on this bike today and was happy to have a horn that could be heard and lights that I could clearly see being reflected off the rear end of vehicles that I was following (in daylight).
