Hi
I'm seeking to change the distributor on my SPi Mini to use the Clubman style brass distributor cap rather than the standard alloy one which Rover uses. It looks as those this can be done, obviously all it needs to do is spin to distribute spark. What I'm hoping someone here can tell me the specifics to adapt it to continue to work for EFI. Is the distributor drive-shaft a different size and which bits to use and such. Any information to this enz would be appreciated.
Thankyou

Use a metro or carby A+ dizzy(43D or 45D)cap is the same as leyland.
remove everything out of it except for the rotor button

Appreciate your help Steve.

Must be time to find a reliable donor distributor then.
