Mine are like the picture. Yours were probably broken off and then removed at some point.

cnterline thanks man yet again.

2 questions about the coil, how we'll is it protected once installed, would water oil or any other similar be able to enter what you think my friend sprayed oil the moron the chirp sound is gone lol but it still engage and everything seems fine 1200 km driven still no chirp sound so quited lol...

If the dowel pins are broken like that (the don't look broken) u think I can still remove it?

Thanks again for all your feedback on this topic want make sure done a lot but is not much info on it other than the German site

Don't worry about the oil sprayed on ,the coil from what I remember is held on by a huge snap ring ,heat hub up to around 300f it will pop right off .the area where the shims go ,I doubt you need a magnet.
