1972 MY contact breaker points

[Sven Rodkarl]

My car was built in late 1971 and first registered in December 1971.
I believe this makes it a MY72 car.

roverp5.com says that the changeover point for contact breaker points is pre and post 1972.

How do I determine which points I need for my car?

The late points have a long and a short locating post underneath the plate. LUCAS DSB117. They will fit the early type if the long post is ground off.

Thanks Phil,

That's really helpful.

I can get stuck in with that now.
