Another one from me, different subject so I thought another post - if that's annoying, let me know...
My car is fitted with a distributor rather than a magneto. I understand this is probably correct for a 1929 car, but the distributor is a later auto-advance type, whereas my car has a manual control lever. I wonder whether anyone can tell me what is the correct model of distributor for this car?
The Dynamo fabric coupling is very worn and needs to be replaced. I reckon I should be able to make one easily enough, but what material should I use? I've found a phenolic cotton laminate, but this will only stand temperatures up to 130C. I know that should be enough, but it doesn't feel like a huge margin of safety when the engine and dynamo are working hard. What about Nylon? That stands higher temperatures and is probably stronger. Again, any advice gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Geoffrey
