JP Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I guess that it's time for the 25 year service and that I should finally replace the distributor cap etc. Could anyone point me in the right direction for the correct parts as there is very little on the Caterham site. Dizzy cap: Is this correct? Rotor Arm: Is this correct? HT leads: Is one of these correct for a 1.6 supersport? If so which one? Grateful for any guidance.

DirtBuddha Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I can't verify whether those parts are correct but I use DMGRS for all my K Series plugs, coils, filters, gaskets, and other parts and they are brilliant. They will steer you in the right direction and have the parts you need. https://www.dmgrs.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilyhands Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The cap and rotor arm look fine, the first option on the leads is definitely OK. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby S Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I get the distributor cap and rotor arm parts from Rimmer Bros (Rover parts warehouse) who have a good stock for my 1992 1400 Supersport (ECU2) Re leads, I upgraded mine to Magnecor some time a go and can recommend, although can't remember where I got them from - I think direct from Magnecor although that was circa 4 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Thank you. I went for the Lucas DKB406 HT lead set in the end. That was because DMGRS could not find a set with a long enough king lead - it seems that there may be a range of coil mounting positions. The Lucas plug leads are fine, but fatter than the originals. The king lead with set was long enough, but the boot was the short wide type, which floated in the breeze when fitting. It also meant that the connector was not seated securely and so I've reused the old king lead for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have Andrew Revill's corrected wiring diagram for K-engined Sevens? I can email copies. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
