Lucas 45D4 Distributor body

Hi Folks,

The nice man who sold James his mini had stripped the threads in the body of the dizzy; it has a screw on dizzy cap. Now we have bodged it on but may have to buy a whole new replacement just cos the threads are stripped.

I have tried Dad magic and ptfe tape etc but not much of a result

Any offers? Just a good dizzy body would do.

Matthew & James

where is that tim gumball . he might be the man of the moment

I'll have a look in my collection of bits, but i think the dizzy i have is of the clip on type.

If no one can help here, you could try Panks electrical in Norwich. they are a lucas specialist. ( they were near Toys R Us the last time I used them)

Tim/Gumball is in Birmingham. I'm sure when he returns he will be able to offer some advice.

Yes still in the land of the "Black country"..

I have just repaired one on Brendans JC mini..

You need to retap it to next size up normaly 6mm and fit a new 6mm bolt..

I have some if you need one or Pm me you post code and i'm sure myself and Mr Ian withh pop over and assist you with the repair..

Should be back on by friday lunch Mr Ian..
