Australian Made K Series Distributor

[Banjo]

I'm currently, "experimenting" with building a "cam based" trigger driver, to provide CAS & crankshaft pulse trains; so that an ECU can quickly & easily be hooked up to any K Series engine, without the need for a stream of crankshaft generated pulses; from either the front crankshaft pulley, or the rear flywheel.

When I attempted this, I looked around my shed, & could only find one of these "Australian Made" Bosch dissies. I have plenty of the olde narrower Denso dissies, that were fitted to the K series engines, both in points & VR sensor arrangements.

I really want another of these larger Bosch dissies, for the K series; so if anyone has a spare one; & is prepared to part with it, & sell it; then please contact me, in this thread, or PM me.

A couple of pics to show / demonstrate, that progress to date is good, & I'm pretty sure it will be " a goer".

And yes; that above, is a jam jar lid, again !

The reason I need the wider dissy, is to accommodate the largest alumium disk to fit a ring of rare earth magnets.  

P.S.  "Not a rotor button, Spark plug lead cap, or set of points in sight"

Maybe.... I'll let you know 👍

Thanks Si,

                 I'll await with bated breath.   I've tried ebay & Gumtree & the like, but nothing listed there, unfortunately.

Yesterday, I turned down the aluminium disk, in an unconventional manner; as I "don't have a lathe".   I had previously attached the aluminium disk to the shaft.

Now, the disk sits nicely, in the bottom end of the dissy body, so later today, I'll mark it out, to drill & insert the rare earth magnets.

 

Looking like it is very possible, & could open a lot of possibilities for K Series motors, with a "drop-in" item, plus an ECU.

If you need to use a lathe you are welcome to drop into my place. Ive got a small one hiding in the garage.

Sorry Dave, I'd forgotten that You had a lathe !  I purchased two (2) of these aluminium discs, so if I can find a second Bosch dissy, there will be another disk to machine down a bit.  They are 70mm in diameter, & I need to reduce them to about 54-55 mm, to fit in the bowels of this larger Bosch dissy.

They are actually sold as a fitting to attach under furniture legs to spread the load on soft surfaces, or allow furniture to be easily slid across carpet.
