Are you sure its a "3" and not an"8" Cast iron narrow body with scew in vacuum advance can, blank square after the 8 with a letter?

volumex - January 27th, 2010 at 01:19 PM

Definitely a BR 3. The BR 8 distributors started in August 54.
If anyone locates a BR2, I'd take that as well :lol:

Don't know if this will be of any use to you dude
Bosch dizzy

volumex - February 13th, 2010 at 02:02 PM

Thanks but that's a VJUR BR8, which was the dizzy after the BR3.

cap clips made from wire is a good indicator from afar

volumex - March 1st, 2010 at 09:06 PM

BR8's had wire clips as standard until at least Oct 55 / 56 year model. I haven't figured out when they stopped using the wire.

volumex - April 18th, 2010 at 04:07 PM

Found one! - cost an arm and three legs though :crazy:
I got it rebuild by Ed Fall - the man produces exceptional work. I was gobsmacked when it arrived, considering how average it looked to start with!

Date stamped May 54

Wow well done ,perseverence usually pays off,most of us would have gone with a BR8 because it was available but congratulations for your perseverence.Cheers Les
