[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 36864, member: 58"] I recognise that. I have one fitted to my Rapide. It is a ignition unit made by Kirby Rowbotham ignition systems in the late 1980's to mid 1990's. From my records the points are: Top set of points (in your photo): Intermotor Contact Set 22700. Replaces Bosch 1.237.013.044 or Lucas DSB432. Bottom set of points: Intermotor Contact Set 22110. Replaces Bosch 1.237.013.052 or Lucas DSB436 or Motocraft EDP38. Still running mine and it runs great. Only mod I have done to it is to remove the distributor cap and rotor and fit a blanking cover. Done this as I am now running twin plug heads so use 2 x twin output coils. I also fitted a small bracket that holds a piece of oil soaked felt against the cam to give the points heal a bit of lubrication. Reduces wear on the heal. As far as I can remember the distributor cap and rotor were off Citroen 2CV. The rotor having an extension soldered on to allow for the cylinders not been 180 degrees apart. Hope that helps Simon.
