I have to confess I don't know which would be the original points set. Early FVs and 102s of the forties had a version of the Villiers points that relied upon a threaded stud with the contact weled on the end.
I don't know the date they changed, but functionally you would certainly be better off with that later 'Spring & Screwdriver' unit, which nis more common.

Or if you're one of those who do not like E-Bay , try George , first rate gentleman , and really knows his onions on anything Villiers .
