Dizzy Cap Opinions……

Post by Exminiman »

Looking to buy a dizzy cap and a bit wary of the quality of the new offering and be interested to know of any recommendations or other wise

Its a 23D/25D type top entry, 1st stop was MS, but oddly they seem to be out of stock….. :shock: http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... 0to%20shop

Thanks for quick replies folks, really appreciate it.

If you can dig up a NOS Andrew that would be really great, if not that Dizzy Doctor person looks well worth a call.

Cheers

I've got this one Marc,

It's been hanging around a long time out of its packet but was in with some other NOS screw in type so think it is unused.

I'll send some more pics if you send me your email address.

Cheers

The current production caps I've looked at are crap - especially the ones where you screw in to the leads. I've bought a couple recently from reputable suppliers, but they just are not worth the bother.

Even second hand original Lucas caps are better.
