Help!
My Mini has the Australian Lucas 29D4 distributor. Can anyone tell me where
tune-up parts (cap, rotor, points and condenser are still available for
them? I understand that most repair parts are unavailable but that service
items (like caps and rotors) still abound. I found out the difference when I
ordered parts for a 1275 S from Seven Enterprises and found they didn't fit.
A Google search turned up a web page titled "Article 8" that does an
excellent job chronicling the Australian versions. I'm in Connecticut, USA.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Ahhh, not in Australia.

Northern Mini would do mail order. I'll see if I can tunr up an email
address, or ring 001 61 3 9458 2111. We are 16 hours ahead of you. I
have no commercial connections with Northern, just a happy customer from
way back.
