MGB Distributer Shutter

thingiverse

This user fabricated a replacement for their Pop's MGB's distributor part, modelled after the "Crane xr700 Shutter" to fit the "Lucas 24D Distributer." The white part functions as a rotating shutter between a photo-gate that sends a signal to ignite spark plugs. It worked perfectly when tested in the car. To print, they sliced the STL into two pieces and laid them flat to avoid overhangs. Precision sanding was done on the top piece before gluing and painting opaque black for light prevention. Even with black filament, a paint coat is recommended for thin parts. The user also provided original part measurements (in mm) for assistance.
