Description
Overview:
The Points Cover Plate (OEM M2906) is a genuine Villiers part for sealing and protecting the contact-breaker points on classic Villiers engines. Made from robust pressed metal, it forms a protective cap over the points housing to keep out dust, dirt, and moisture, helping maintain a clean, reliable spark and smoother running. Designed to original specification, it suits Villiers MK7 and MK10 series engines, including MK7/1, commonly found on vintage garden and light construction machinery. Supplied as unused old stock, the plate may show minor tarnish or storage marks typical of age, but remains fully functional. It fits in place over the points chest using the existing fixing method, providing a secure, long-lasting barrier in everyday use and during storage.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for correct fit and compatibility
- OEM reference M2906 for precise identification
- Durable pressed-metal construction withstands heat and vibration
- Shields ignition points from dust, grit, and moisture ingress
- Helps maintain consistent ignition performance and easier starting
- Direct replacement; straightforward to fit with standard tools

- Unused old stock: functionally new with possible cosmetic tarnish
Typical Applications:
Protecting the contact-breaker points on Villiers-powered equipment such as classic lawnmowers, rotavators, small generators, water pumps, and compact site machinery. Suitable for repairs where the original cover is missing or damaged, and for preventative maintenance to reduce moisture ingress during outdoor use, transport, or storage.
