Hi again ,
I was surprised to read that you are having problems finding a new Lucas
distributor. I have bought many original "new" old Lucas parts from Holdon
in the UK. They advertise Spridget (and many other) distributors in their
catalogue. Good people , fast service.
Usual disclaimers,
                           Mark
