Hi Matt,

There is no problem in obtaining contact sets for older Lucas distributors. Having said that, you won't have any difficulty in getting old contacts to work if you just take them out and rub each on an oil stone.

Try one of these:

Hi Matt, not quite sure what you are asking here. If you are talking about the contacts within the distributor then Peter has answered you. If however you are referring to the contacts within the cap then these are moulded in and are not replaceable so you are in for a new cap. These too are readily available from the folks that Peter mentions.

Cheers
Paul

Peter, Thanks for all those links! Smile

Yes Paul I did mean the contacts in the cap, I didnt look at it to closley and had thought it may be possable to replace the contacts in the cap as the caps i found on ebay seemd quite expensive but looking at the links Peter gave me i'm more hopefull Smile

Cheers guys!!
