The title says it all. One of the spring clips that hold the Delco dissy cap on my 1850HL has snapped. Can anyone help? I reaslly don't want to have to shell out for a recon dissy just for want of a spring clip. Thanks. |

Try Robsport, give them a call? I might have one somewhere, but it will take time to find. |

Hi Mike, If you want a brand new one the part number is 518437 from the early 1850 parts book p.20-11. Try the usual suppliers. If not I can do you a 2nd hand one when I work out how to remove it from the Delco body. It looks like there isn't a roll-pin retainer. HTH, Tony. |

Tony, if you can get one off, I would be glad of it. Looking at my dissy, the springy clip can simply be forced over the pin - as you say the pin doesn't seem to be removable. Let me know if you can get one off and how much it will cost to post it to me and I will PM you with my address and we can arrange reimbursement. I put that part number into Rimmer's website and it came up with the correct item, but it was NLA. It suggested an alternative, and when I tried that it showed me a track rod end clamp from a Land Rover! Quite how that is an alternative to a distributor clip escapes me. Thanks for your help.

It's a good idea, and I have thought of the distributor doctor, but as far as I know he only deals with Lucas dissys. His web site doesn't mention Delco units at all.

Have you tried any of the vauxhall parts suppliers or forums? They have the same type of dizzy. Cheers, Tony. |
