John, it looks like your distributor is from an earlier, unknown type of car (5 33 is the date, i.e. May 1933). Perhaps your best course of action would be to find an example of the correct Ruby distributor, DK4A, for which spares are available from Distributor Doctor and others. 405508 is the magic number for an 8 degree DK4A, like the one in the pictures. They come up on eBay from time-to-time or advertise in the "parts wanted" page of this forum.
