Is there anyone who supplies a new distributor for an early model A12 engine? It seems like all the new ones are for late models. Or, are the new ones interchangeable? Any help is appreciated.

Still on the look out for a cover plate and I'm willing to pay top dollar!

I'd feel a lot better if the car was fitted with one. I guess if I find an early "half" version I can always add it later.

Looks like your area code is outside the US. I'd be worried about how long it would take to ship since I'm on a time crunch.

I appreciate that.
At this point, I'm not concerned so much about the cost but the time; I have to finish this car by January and I'm hoping to have the motor in within the next two weeks. If there was a way for your plate to be on my doorstep in a week, I'd pay for it.

Yup, I'm desperate! After looking, calling and searching to the ends of the earth, I cannot find a clutch/transmission dust cover plate. I have an A12 engine bolted up to a 60 series 5 speed but at this point, I don't really care if it's the exact plate, just as long as it's close.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I opened the engine up to do the rings before I put it back in the car but found the inside was not as perfect as I had thought. The biggest problem is that there is a gouge in cylinder wall #4 from rust. It looks like the engine blew a head gasket, leaked water into the cylinder, was parked in the junk yard for a couple of years, transplanted into the MG with a new gasket then driven many years after. Either cylinder #4 will have to bored out and have a sleeve fitted to return it to stock dimensions (that's my first preference) or all four cylinders will have to be bored out and fitted with larger pistons (very expensive). It also turns out that I have a flat cam shaft that may or may not be able to be reground. As of right now, I'm on the more-difficult-than-I-thought search for internal parts.
