[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 89001, member: 456"] I agree with Bill. We need a photograph. If you are new to Vincents then you need to know that in 1954 Vincents produced the series 'D' bikes which incorporated lots of suggestions for improvements which had been garnered from VOC members and other Vincent riders. Changes were a fully sprung rear end, identical cylinder heads front and rear and coil ignition to aid starting. A distributor was used for the coil ignition with the coil fastened to the drive side of the crank case, above the primary chain cover. Many owners retro fitted this coil ignition system to aid low speed running and starting. The wiper arm inside the distributor is unusual in that it has an extension to its width on its outer edge to take into account the unequal firing intervals of the 50 degree vee twin engine. If it is this wiper arm that you need then they are available. Personally I am not aware of a specifically 'Kemp' distributor, but that does not mean that there wasn't one. We need a picture to help.
