A+ dizzy body and spindle - NOW OBTAINED
Turbo Mini Forums

Big thanks to Gary,

Arrived this morning all the way from Eire despite the weather !

********

Basically I'm just after the bottom half of any A+ dizzy....

I don't need the cap/leads, I don't need the points/electronic module or anything that makes it work....

I just need the base and shaft/spindle.

Must have next to no play in the spindle bearings (but the advance system can be totally shagged as that will be thrown away) and must be "A+" drive dog.

I need to build a second phase sensor and don't want to cut up another perfectly good dizzy just to get a base and spindle.......

If you haven't got one sorted in a couple of weeks I have one you can have.

I'm just not near home to get it anytime in the next week or two.

If you can't get one closer to home I have one in the garage your welcome to. I'll check it for play during the week

I have an SPI dizzy body laying about in my garage. That any good?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Thanks for the offers (and for being caught out, I'm usually very careful with my choice of words....).

minimadmotorman, if the SPI is the electronic one like the later Metros - left in this photo,



.... unfortunately no. I need the base from a mechanical one like on the right.

minimole23 and spanner181187, please check but absolutely no rush, I have a long way to go before the second engine runs so I'm just collecting parts as and when..... PayPal at the ready !!!

It looks just a like a mechanical body with no vacuum advance.

I will dig it out this week/end and send you a picture if you don't get sorted before then.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with the SPI, I just assumed it would be the electronic one...

The vacuum advance (or lack of) is irrelevant to me, I just need the base to be the shape of the one on the right.

No rush.
