Re: Ignition Replacement Bits

i got a new dizzy cap from halfrauds, if i remember rightly they didnt list one so i took mine in and found an identicle one to it, they didnt have a rotor arm though, there was one very very similar but not identicle, so i left that cos mine didnt look to bad anyway.
