Today I changed points and condenser. Every time I do this, I worry that I will drop a screw down the inside of the distributor.
What do forum members do to reduce this risk?
1. Use a magnet.
2. Cover gaps with a cloth
3. Use thick grease on the screwdriver
4. Fit electronic ignition
5. Any other suggestions?
I used a combination of method 2 (the cloth) and method 3 (the grease), but I still wasn't totally confident....
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

Brilliant, simple, easy when you know how. I'll do it that way next time.
Many thanks, Steve
