Dizzy identity ?
 

I have these two dizzy's in amongst my kit, the original divers helmet dizzy never came back with the lump, can anyone ID what it is ?

I don't have mine to hand but it looks like a Lucas one. I have a Lucas and divers helmet you can borrow if you need to.

I need a "crab" style one ? As that's what the ignition kit I have coming fits.... For some reason I thought that's what I had....

If you just need the case I may have a crab. I'll look tomorrow.

Cheers Ben... It is appreciated matey.

Richard,

Could you please attach your pictures to your postings? External links will disappear someday.

Thanks,
Hanno

Yeah no probs, bear with me I will give it a go

Richard, they are Lucas. Any chance of getting the rotor as your not planning to use it? They are hard to find.

Lynn if I get sorted then it's all yours, infact you can have both dizzy's for parts I might have a decent cap somewhere for it too i know they are sought after over your side.

Hurrah ! I did it !!!! I actually posted a pic onto the site ! It's only taken me four years

Well done mate :thup:

rich

think I've got one floating around in my dizzy collection that you can have.

I've got a Daimler armoured car workshop manual you can have if you need it.

rick

Gents I am humbled by your offers of help, Ben has got one for me so yet again the carrier family have come to the rescue

Hi Rick,

Always glad to have any Daimler info and help !

LOL another engine would help too !

If you can pm me I can let you have my e-mail.

Cheers,

Andy

Rich, try the Distributir Dr on line in Taunton for internals for that dizzy, good prices and service.

I just got spare rotor arm and condensor

Careful on your dizzy choice Richie as when the crab was introduced over in America the nose of the camshaft was changed too. The crab can be retrofitted using an adaptor plate and distance piece to interface with the cam drive. The Lucas type are a direct replacement for the divers helmet and there is a postwar ford UK Lucas distributor which has a similar body to the wartime Lucas item but with moulded connectors for the plug leads.
