These are the original Quest igniters introduced in their 1992 catalog.
Somewhere along the way I got them in some older Quest engine packages.
Here's the parts for the igniter assembly.
You first removed the larger black discs for the self adhesive paper. Peel off the backing and fold it around the copper "stick" igniter. The copper strip should be centered under the open holes, exposed for attaching the micro clips.
Underneath are the "Tiger Tac" plugs. These were made of hard plastic, some sort of small construction rivet.
Here's two assembled igniters.
You can see how the copper strip is open for the micro clips.
One clip goes over the strip through the top hole, the second clip goes over the lower hole.
The yellow folded paper would separate and insulate the clips preventing a short.
Those look as awesome as the old Aerotech Copperheads, or Crapperheads as people called them. I never had and problem with them, but many people did. They didn't come with the nice stickers, so we had to use strips of tape or buy a special jig they made for them to connect the clips.
