Over the last week Ben has sent me a few photos of dizzy assembly....

...and this week I went to collect the finished article....great to comapre against an original...











....

[Darren65]

...more originals for comparison...





...I added the condensers which need the wiring and brackets amended, other than that I think these looks pretty damn perfect ....

....I'm told a few coatings of WD40 will take away the shiny new gleam...



...and side by side...



....dyno tested to ensure a perfect 13º curve and perfect in every detail.......do reproduction parts get any better?

In my opinion just simply awesome!

Impressive! Beautyfull!

Can't see any points, will you use capacitive sensor?

A rough idea of the price?

Best to speak to Ben regarding price.....he offers three options, a full reproducyion dizzy that's correct in every detail, a unit with Bosch type internals or just the casing for you to fit your own internals. In my opinion the cost is great value and far less than you'd expect.

I am in for both the fan hoisng and the distributor with Ben

Did you use Bens's smaller fan shroud in you "mongrel" build if you did thats good as I at least know someone makes an engine shroud to fit the smaller fan shroud

Hi Clyde,

The fan housing in the car at present is the smaller type although it's an aluminium housing I purchased from Crawford Composites which was then black anodised, Ben hadn't produced them when I was originally sourcing one. It looks pretty good although I may swap to one of Ben's correct magnesium housings which are exact reproductions of an original. ..........just need to save a few pennies and recover first!

Ben's products on my engine include high butterflies, racing oil filter housing with disk filter, Magneti Marelli twin spark distributor, MFI pump brace and base plate along with a few other items......the glass shroud came from Nick Fulljames at Redtek Engineering....





Cheers,

Btw.....I plan to vist Ben in the next week or so and will post a few photos to conclude this thread.

He's also produced a few more items including front hubs and the RSR crankshaft pulley etc.

Cheers,
