Ian Foster Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Bazza/Richard Those clips are different to the ones on my GT6 Delco, which are flat spring steel hooked into the vac advance unit.. See attached photo of a spare unit. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GT6 (a Mk3) has the later type with the clips Colin found. As does my Spitfire, now, although its original distributor was the early type.

Colin Lindsay Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Yes, apologies guys, it was a rushed post so no time for explanations - I've bought those from John before and they fitted my Mk1 GT6. Just be careful surfing his site, he has some amazing stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagger Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Looks like a job for somebody with some clock spring material. Careful use of heat enables the ends to be bent. Tie wraps in the meantime? Depends upon how often you need the top off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Thanks All for your comments. I managed to get one from the Distributor Doctor who had an old Delco unit. Also he is only 15 minutes away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
