Ignition Wiring Problem Reverting to Points System

[Charlville]

Hi Fellow Barners
I wonder if I can ask for an opinion on the issue with the ignition wiring on my 1929 Sport Coupe (12vol negative earth, with a Nu-Rex alternator)

I’m in the process of removing the Pertronix set up and replacing it with the Nu-Rex modern points setup.

I’ve taken the following steps:

Added a used base plate to which I’ve soldered the longer pigtail

Connected the pigtail to the points terminal without pinching as instructed

Additionally modified the dimple area where the pop out would normally contact and added a wire which I’ve carefully insulated and connected this to the live side of the coil along with the wire from the ignition switch to the positive side of the coil.

The negative side of the coil is connected to the driver side connection on the terminal box.

My problem is that every time I turn the ignition on I’m blowing the safety fuse.

So I have a short somewhere and I’m not the world’s best electrician therefore it’s probably self-inflicted

Any assistance or advice would be appreciated as I’m stuck in the garage with her at the moment

Regards

Kevin
