My problem with the brass contacts plate, points and their combination was points not lining up properly when closed (at a useless angle or offset, or even both).
The repro points for brass plate I bought = disaster, wasted time and money. Try before you buy!
Currently using a set of NOS lucas, ebay special price for you (= expensive), but result near perfect. Am still looking for the perfect NOS brass plate w. points, and keep the one I have now as very good spare.
