Distributor rebuilds
Does anyone in Australia do complete re-builds of Bosch distributors?
I'm looking at a mild 40HP vintage speed type motor for my 1963 ghia, and likely the dizzy will be an 010 or 019. I may find a good one that
doesn't need a re-build, but these are 50 odd years old now so I'm not hopeful.
Is one of these (or another type all together) best suited to a mild twin-carb 40HP, 1200cc.
Any help appreciated. I know Glenn Ring builds them in the US but I'm fishing to see if there is anyone local.
Thanks, Angus

Hi Angus, I have .010, .050, .019 (both blue and black) and .022 if you need up to 36° advance.
Most of my stuff came out of cars about 30 years ago so not that much wear and tear.
Usually if there is no shaft wear, there is also no spring/weight wear.
I don't bother doing worn-out ones, most just need a good clean-out, new insulation bits, new teflon sliders, points and condenser and properly
lubricated.
I ran a 1200 with 1400 big bore kit back in the day - i was happy with the .019 dizzy.
Also have JudsonMagneto Coils which look really cool in a Vintage Speed set-up.
To get these to work properly, they need 8 volts, which implies a 12 volt ignition.
Regs, Lance.

They aren't that hard to take apart and rebuild. Biggest thing is shaft wear but that can be ground out and the body bushed.
Depends on your mech skills really 
I rebuild my VJU dizzy. Not that hard

I sent you a PM yesterday but they don't seem to be working for me, it's not in my outbox.
How much for either your 010 or 019 - probably have a slight preference to a blue 019.
You can reply to dowrie@optusnet.com.au if you prefer.
Thanks, Angus
I might just have a go at it psimitar

If it needs grinding then thats the costly part. Brass busg for the body should be sourced on the web easily enough and then an adjustable reamer to
get the shaft fitting snug. Again the reamer can be got on Ebay etc and even a cheap-ish one will suffice for the one time you'll need it. I bought a
reamer for me door pins and worked a treat for $10
