	If the distributor is worn it usually the bushings in the housing
rather than the shaft itself.  I've found a guy who rebuilds them in the US
so I suspect you should be able to find one in the UK.  This guys does only
auto ignitions and used to be in the DC area.  But he has moved to N.
Carolina to be close to the NASCAR action.  He has rebuilt the distributor
for my long departed Peugot 504 estate car and my Moto Guzzi.
