Was looking for a good quality replacement as genuine Bosch are nla. Don’t want accuspark as had an issue before with them. Are the SSP ones sold by Heritige any good? Just need std points type as already have a pertronix module.
These guy do a top notch rebuild service. http://www.h-h-ignitionsolutions.co.uk/ I had what looked like a totally knackered Bosch SVDA rebuilt by them & it looks as good as new. It has been running for the past couple of years with no issues
The bonus is that you get the shiny refreshed one within a matter of days...perhaps the good news in your case it won't be the one you sent !.... I presumed they refurbished your own and left Petronix module on ..... it came back with points !
I got the same one back, complete with a new electronic ignition module (I took pics of the part number & serial no's etc prior to sending it)
Too much end float might just be one of the fibre washers broken up, there are two one inside the distributor and one outside.
What I got back was well refurbished, but it was back within 48hrs......I either caught them on a very slack ( or busy ) day.
Think I will replace the fibre shims. I am measuring about 2mm end float & seem to think the fiber shims have long since disappeared.
See what you mean had a tap at the pin but it don’t want to move Having second thoughts on diy as the fibre shims are not easily obtainable in the UK either. Recon I’ll send it to ign solutions for a refurb.
They don't. I'd assumed (see recent post elsewhere) that they were just a roll pin, but that would be too easy . They're solid and pressed in. I gave up on mine (no real need to remove it as fibre washer intact) before I broke something...
This is where I get mine. Actually come from Latvia in two or three of days. https://cars245.co.uk/item/bosch-1230107011-washer/
I made a hold for the dog out of a large nut 1" with the threads turned off in the lathe and a hole drilled through the flats so I can push them out. Powerspark ones just tap out.
