My idea is to Google when looking for stuff.

I almost bought this one. They're getting rare since Bosch dropped making them.

Bmi looks like the cheapest option. They are getting difficult to find.

I just bought one from bmi, $11 + post

https://www.bmiparts.com.au/

At the moment I'm using a different looking rotor similar to a pulsar one. It works fine but the key inside is 180° out so plug leads are too.

I'll try to identify it for future use when the proper ones disappear totally.
Edit
Turns out the old on is a Lorimier DB256 which are NLA already.
Key is same as the new one.
It's only 180° out because someone reversed the drive dog and bashed the pin back in. :roll:

Someone was after dizzy springs for one there and had no joy.

I'll use it as is if necessary, plug leads 180° moved. The drive pin won't move and it's just a spare to carry if my electronic one dies enroute to woop woop.

Apparently four of these NOS Lorimier ones have already sold, maybe they increased the price but eBay won't let me see on this listing.

Part numbers to look for:
EP82
BD256
GL256
DRN401
62410319

These numbers are all from old Bosch ignition parts catalogues.

Well I've now got a spare NOS GL256 if anyone needs one.


My old rotor is as in pic above, it ain't broke so I'll keep using it.

Edit
Rotor now sold....?
Nope, still available.

Edit 2
Found another in my stuff today, NOS one, made in Germany.
So 2 available.
$20 each, posted.
