G'day Guys

Looking for advice on how to obtain the bakerlite sleeve that the horn contact brass rod and spring pass through/sit on top off. Rare spares have the spring/rod sets for sale, but not the bakerlite sleeves.

Help me to get horny again.........

Cheers Whale

Jim: Those ebay ones look like the business. Thankyou so much for keeping me in mind. Just brilliant, i was wondering what i was going to do....

ACE : Once again, thankyou also very much. I will also be in contact.

Guys this help has been brilliant Thankyou all


Love Whale

I have to admit that I haven't seen a set of those points for over 20 years! I think they were superseded by the newer design in the 70's and any old original sets have since dried up.

Jeeze..... so what do you recommmend i do?  Change the whole distributor???? Hopefully not????

Whale

It shouldn't be this hard should it??? If anyone has the original workshop manual ( fast eddie kindly gave me his spare) then you wiil see what this eccentric screw who-ha thingy is!

Thanks whale.

Thanks guys but the GB504's don't have that extended part to their base plates that i require.  The one in the picture of my workshop manual ( and the one in my car) has a right angle/elbow apprearence to the base plate of the the points set!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!! the saga continues

If anyine has the original shop manual i am referring to the picture on pg288
The Bosh GB504's dont have the extended base plate that houses the "eccentric screw 'B')".
Been around town twice trying to find these bad boys. Blokes behind counter haven't been the greatest of hope.

Help please!!!!!

whale

Thankyou both very much guys.

I have the original grey so i will be going with door number two.

Thanks once again

G'day Guys

I need to buy a new set of points for 'Ruby' ( formerly fast eddies old girl)

Old mate behind counter of local auto shop opens catelouge, finds part number gives me the set. Get home wrong ones. Go back, he cant help me anyfurther.

It's the type that has a little circluar based screw thingy down the far end of the base plate that allows you to adust the gap.

Does anyone know the brand/part number i am after. An online mob that sells them would be nice ( convenient) and yes i have checked reare spares but they don't have pics for the contact pointd and i would like to avoid the drama of my first go at changing them.

Thanks in advance

Whale

Thankyou  very much gentlemen.

Your concise and helpful info is very much appreciated.
 I bought my old girl because i love these cars so much. I went into this relationship knowing that she was going to have her ups and down,and now thanks to you two, it sounds like it should be all "up" again very shortly.

I really do appreciate the descriptive help. Lets hope it is idiot proof!

Thankyou for that.

Howdy All

Speedo recently died. Presumably cable, made a racket for a while, needle jumped around a lot, then nothing.

What it the easiest way to get ones hands on areplacement cable ( for FC).
Is it a mcechincs job or something i can tackle at home?
