Timing scale for type 4 engine

Hi all,

I am missing the timing scale off my 1700 engine - I can buy one off ebay for £12 + £2 P&P, but will it be as good as an orignal one - wasn't sure if it will beade of metal or pastic (I assume the orignal ones are metal?).

If it is likely to be crap, does anyone have one available?

Cheers

 

OG ones are plastic... I've as yet to see a metal one for a type 4 lump....

 

the plastic ones form ebay are fine, i have one on my engine

 

Cheers guys - I will order one off ebay - where the seller lives in walking distance from my house but insists on posting it (???).

 

well i NEED a metal one ,I think alot of the US buses had metal ones

 

Its a 20 pence bit of plastic, but a necessary one!

 

I have a metal one, sorry not for sale though. Will do a pic.

 

cheers guys - just ordered one from JK - £10.50 - not sure if it's going to be plastic or metal but we'll see when it turns up (oh, and had to order a set of baby moons at the same time, just to help justify the postage costs and all!).

 

You can get one of these from the states, looks alright
