TS100 Points I.D. 1972

[joolstacho]

Can anyone give me a firm identification for the contact breaker points for a 1972 TS100 please.
I got a set online (trusting the fitment guide - which was incorrect). I was able to adapt it to fit by grinding out the lock screw slot. But it's not perfect.
If anyone has a Parts Manual covering the '72 TS100? The actual part number could help me search. I'd like to get the correct points as there is a VERY tight clearance to the Flywheel Rotor and near-enough ain't good enough! The A100 set LOOKS the same, but I think there's a slight difference.

Have a look here - https://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm
There's information regarding a 1973 Honcho, but the US usually got their models a year before us, so it may help....

Thanks Alan, A 1972 TS 100 isn't listed. And the 'equivalents' that I've found aren't quite right. But...

I've found the correct part number under the '72 125 'Duster' bike. Great! But the points would cost about $50 and the cheapest postage cost approx $65 !
Killer. I'll keep trying local agents.

If you've got a part number, the bits 'should' be available world wide - or at least in the same continent you inhabit!
Did you check the '73 bike as well 'just in case' there's another option? There appears to be two types.

Alan, I've been tripped up by points and condenser before, -buying parts based on seller's incorrect 'usage' lists.
I bought a condenser which turned out to be (only) 1/2mm longer, but which rubbed and shorted on the inside of the rotor.

And a points set which needed the screw slot ground so they would adjust enough to open, and it comes perilously close to rubbing the inside of the rotor. Just sayin' - that these parts look identical, but the tolerances are tight in there... Only the correct part will do.

From what I can see, there are 2 options depending on the manufacturer:
32240-07610 - Kokusan
32240-43012 - Nippon Denso
An Ebay search finds quite a few of each type. Seems simple, but......... I've been there before too
