the Bosch distributor is quite visually different in that it doesn't have the flattened side bit to the distributor cap. Probably not describing very well but you can see the difference in these ebay items. first is bosch and second in an electronic version of the A7 distributor but shows the flattened bit present on the original:

if you have Bosch then you just need to look for spares for Bosch 009. Yu can buy from Austin Seven Reproduction Parts or any VW supplier. I bought a replacement cap for £4:95 couple of weeks ago and some points from a VW supplier at the Practical Classics Show.
