RE: SER1 25D Distributor

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/08/04]

Hi Tom and Diana,

Yes, a bit confusing, particularly as a check of the box for the cap 
from TLR shows that it has been remarked and the Minerva spares book 
shows that at some point the Belgian Army swapped out the original 
distributors although the replacement number is illegible on my copy.  It 
is logical to think that the ABL substituted the same model used on their 
later Landys, but who knows?

The distributor in the TT is, according to the casting on the body, a 25D 
which my local Brit mechanic tells me is the same model used on Jags, MGs 
and others, including the II/III Landys.  I'm going to dump it in his lap 
and see if he can sort it all out.  For interest, what's the casting id on 
the body of an original '52 distributor?

Fortunately, the TT is running fine at present, but I'd like to have spare 
distributor bits along :-)
