CVH broken plastic distributor spindle.

[traveler.77]

I decided on a donor and realised I would probably be doing at least a partial rebuild on the engine (for peace of mind). There was this 1992 sierra 1.8 CVH on e-bay with a blown head gasket. I bid on it and brought it back home. The guy had stripped it all down and the good news was that all the bits were there. The bad news....the rotor arm plastic drive off the end of the camshaft has been broken!
in fact, really bad news as I've found out that the part is obsolete at Ford Parts dept. so new ones cannot be bought.

Does anynone have a spare they don't need and are willing to sell it!!!!!!!!!

If you can't get one try a Megajolt, I believe the CVH has trigger wheel and vr sensor already

Thanks for your replies/help guys, it's appreciated. "Megajolt"...will research that alternative. It would be nice to have the original ford part anyway, as a back up even if I go the megajolt route to get round the problem. Big Wasa...thanks for the spindle photo! Are you willing to sell me it!!
Best regards to all..
