    Which windscreen rubber seal

    Windscreen seal for baywindow buses range in price from £26 to £68. I don't want to waste money but is the £68 "TOP QUALITY"version worth it.

    Ignition timing 009

    When I refit a stock vacuum advance distributor I would prefer a original version that has been refurbished if they are available.VW heritage offer a new one by SSP for very little money but are they good quality. Any idea where a good quality dizzy could be sourced?
