Hi Charles as you probably know the push connector is made for the older F4 (and bounty hunter) the screw fit is on the F2 though they both work on the same frequency so the coil is fine. My advice would be to leave the on-board socket alone but change the plug at the end of the coil lead. The push ones are just 5? pin DIN plugs and are easily obtained from the likes of Maplin. If you have a store locally that you can get to then take the coil with you to ensure you get the right pin grouping.

Thanks for reply Geoff i thought of doin that but wasnt sure if it would work as i would have not been able to send it back

Well you have a point there If you do decide to change the on-board socket I would also buy a new plug for your existing coil as if the Nel does fail for whatever reason then at least you will still be able to use the machine
