square four distributor cover

[GuyWalton]

does anyone know of a replacement distributor cover for the square four the one that covers the cap and the leads . Never been able to find one . This is one of the square fours in the motorcycle museum but is a good picture of said cover .

I made one from heat shrink. Not too pretty but does the job:

HI Guy i was going to say a 3t or 5t pre 1963 but they only have 3 leeds and you have 5 leeds i have got a 5t but i cannot go and look at the moment in lock down otherwise i would go and look and see if you can and get 5 leeds out the top of the cover and i think the 3t or 5t cap is a lot smaller than a square 4 one

The Austin 7 uses that distributor. I wonder if its worth nosing around their parts suppliers?

[JohnnyBeckett]

hi you can make one out of a old inner tube cut to the size of the cap and taper it up like a ice cream cone to where the leeds come out and stick it with good superglue i have made them for my grass track cars in the past

This is the one I purchased .May need a bit of a stretch here and there but we will try it and report back after arrival .

The ones for Morris, Austin and Triumph cars all seem to be the wrong shape (side exiting leads, too narrow, etc).

hi their also is one that the leeds come out the top they make two types of cap one the leeds come out the side of the cap and the other one the leeds come out top of the cap like your square 4 the boots are out their you just have to keep looking for them, if the classic car shows where on you will find one, like my friend did for the triumph 1300 i am restoring for him
