I installed the new Dyna S today. Installation went smooth as silk, and I was getting ready to set the timing.
But when I put a wrench on the shaft nut and turned the engine, my wrench (open end..Doh!) sheared off one of the plastic covers on the points plate. Guess I should have used a socket and extension.
$120.00 shot to hell.
Here's the damage:

From photo it looks like it sheared where the plastic is glued to the metal. If this is the case, send email or call the manufacturer, tell 'em what you did, ask 'em what kind of cement to use to fix it.
If you're hell bent on throwing it in the trash, let me take care of that for you

That piece thats held on with what look like cap screws or rivets, kind of mottled cyan on my ancient display, is a circuit board!
It looks like an Aluminum plate in the photo.

That's gotta hurt, ego and wallet. Anyhow, I have spoke with Dyna via email a bit and they seem like good folks. See if they might cut you some kinda deal or repair even?
Don't fret about it much though, we've all pulled our tricks - betcha that don't happen twice!
Tell 'em what ya did - maybe they'll send you a replacement. It wouldn't hurt to try. hee.
JMK.
