Hi Randall
I bought the elec ign dizzy for my Sprint, guess what its the only dizzy
body you can't just swap the guts into, so having the bushes sat idle I
thought I would rebush my worst dizzy, no where near as bad as Gabys. I did
ask at my local Lucas dealer several years ago and was told they were not
available separately, I have to admit I was going by this knowledge it was v
late and I did say as far as I know, I took it no further at the time as I
was merely toying with the idea of improving my dizzy if it were not too
much trouble. Thanks for making it known these are available I will check
around here in England to see if they are available.
Graham.
ps Is Moss USA connected to Moss UK, could you let me know the dollar price?
