Just been looking to find a new distributor cap and rotor arm for my Sprint engine and they seem to be hard to find and very expensive.
I have the Lucas 44D distributor and prices seem to be about £18 for a rotor arm and £20 for the cap.
Are these prices correct and does anyone have a better/cheaper source please?

I am a TR Register type and not a Dolomite Club member so am I allowed to buy bits from the club?
It would be good to buy stuff from people who know the cars well but I have the Sprint engine in a TR7 so thought it might be a bit like heresy.

An alternative to the original Sprint rotor arm and distributor cap,
you can use Austin Ambassador items, but doing so requires push-in ignition leads as well.
Whatever you do, please DON'T use Intermotor brand components.

We don't have any 44D caps or rotor arms in stock at the moment.

Re: Sprint Ignition Parts
Heresey maybe, but at least you improved a TR7
Anyone is welcome Russ, there's a few with peculiar tastes like yourself around, and sadly, there are a few spare Sprint engines around without cars to wrap around them these days! MikeyB called in to see me yesterday and in conversaion I counted up about 15 in my collection!!
Oh, and its not us being petty about only selling to members, there are legal reasons why, not that I can ever remember why a Club is different to an individual; tax I think...
