[Healeys] distributor plate.

[Chris Dimmock]

Sorry. Misread the question....
Dunno. I only have a single fixed plate ala Cooper S in my 23D6. None of that
vacuum advance complications. ;-)

the clamp on a 25D6 crushes the clamping face. You can machine the clamping
face off, and make a new larger height, smaller diameter alloy clamp (or buy
the clamp from e.g. Denis Welch)

lathe usually gets things round, and evenly clamping tight again.

bottom plate.  appears worn and is sloppy.  two questions:  could this be the
cause of the low speed roughness and does anyone have a servicable plate for a
bt7 that i could buy ?  hjim
