REFLECTOR: LIGHTSPEED IGNITION PROBLEM

[Richard Riley]

I had a problem exactly like that.  I had the box mounted on the inside of 
the firewall.  The vibration shook a component off the board.  Klaus 
repaired it, I mounted it elswhere - on shock absorbing stand offs - and 
never had a problem thereafter.
