These have been purchased through our normal suppliers with the exception of the last which failed within less than 10 miles on the clock and this was procured from a distributor specialist.
Having just rebuilt my distributor and taking Ruby out for a run to the local A7OC meet it failed within five miles from leaving home. Replaced with yet another new one.

I wonder...these Chinese-made lumps of rubbish - are they simply being overloaded and two or more wired in parallel might be worth an experiment?
