Never seen one, I think the best you can do is use 90* ends on the leads. :wink:
If it's in a Mini, putting 10mm spacers behind the grille gives you a little more room too.

Thanks Doc. :D
I hadn't seen one either, but often I am wrong :oops: and was after a second opinion.

Thanks

I use Both the 90* angle end on a Lead and also 10 mil spacer on the Grill. I use Grill Buttons and it makes it much easier to get a Grill on and off in seconds

Same here, but w/o the spacers - dont feel I need them with the grille buttons. i find the grille buttons kinda ugly but awsomely useful.

I have been researching this for the last 12 months. No one in any Bosch, Champion or Repco warehouse is helpful in this matter. All the Ignition parts Book that I have do not specify what cap fits what distributor and it is difficult judjing form the pictures in the book if one will fit. But do not dispair I might have the answer soon I am trying overseas and will be getting Bulk if I find the correct part. I have been asked for this part many times before.

Just came across this site. http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/~kris/escort/ignition.shtml

I have the Pulsar dizzy :) , but never seen the one out of a Honda :shock: . Does that have a shoter shaft, or perhaps a smaller cap ? Anyone? Sorry I don't know the part number.

Ive shaved about 5mm off the dizzy cap posts, as well as trimming a bit off the rubber sleeves ---- gives it a bit more room.
