Evening gents

Right, i'm in need of an A-series dizzy plug, the only one i can find is from.......that company......you all know! I've dug up a few threads and it seems people had to turn theirs down, i don't have access to a lathe, nor would i even know how to use it! Is there anyone that would be willing to help, is it still a touchy subject? either way, i have beer tokens.

Cheers
Dan

Why not use a knackered dizzy and cut it down to size.

I would but just seeing the other comments of fitting problems put me off, i thought maybe someone on here may have one, or could knock one up.

im sorry but ive been using mra for all my bits, all good quality items, martain is a good guy and he has said if they disnt fit the you should email him and have a work as he is more than happy to sort the problem out, he is a fellow mini enthusiast and wants to help other entusiasts. after saying that no no-one has given any sort of chance to them after that, it seems like if one person dosnt like the rest dont, as im aware this fitting problem has been resolved..buy from who you want to buy from but ive had nothing but exelent service from mra.

This isnt me having a go at any1 before i get shafted, this is me giving a good recomendation as i use the company for pretty much most of my parts, and will carry on to do so.
No thats fair enough mate, ive ordered a few bits in the past and ive had great service, but after seeing some of the reviews on this specific part, i figured i would save any agro test fitting and risking a bad fit and possible machining.
