No fuss Neil.
You forget you are living in a land where people who shop at K mart
have Lucas ignitions.
In the US I have only bought ignition stuff at a 'Merican parts
store one time. The rotor was so poor of a quality I put the carved up
carbon tracked one back in the car and continued driving across the Arizona
desert.
On the other hand my brother bought a set of points for his Austin
Marina from a parts store in Denver. They were Lucas and only cost $18.00!!
Seriously. Lucas, Intermotor and Bosch are all servicable quality.
Bosch uses a phenolic lifter if I recall, but I have yet to see any problems
with the plastic lifter. So long as the current draw is within specs. My
guess is that anytime one sees premature points failure take a good hard
look at coil current draw.
And we like you too Neil.
Kelvin.
