Hi All
For completeness, an hour in the workshop and I did this....
I silver soldered a washer under the locking nut, threaded a bolt up from underneath and using a lock nut I can adjust the plate to just slide smoothly when moving the advance retard lever.
One reason for the wobbly distributor was the fact that the top of the end plate (brass bushing) was at a different height to the bracket on to which the adjusting plate is screwed . A washer under the plate cured this.
The modifications have made the tickover much sweeter so I guess the loose clamp must have been affecting the timing.
Thanks for comments and help.
Cheers
Howard
