New Distributor Breaker Plates

My new vacuum advance pot and breaker plate assembly arrived from Z Specialites .

There is a plastic bearing housing on the 280zx electronic distributors the breaks over time (about 10 years I'm told) causing the vacuum advance to not function correctly. I ordered an "upgraded" metal breaker plate assembly from Z Specialties but it took about 2 months to complete the transaction and when they arrived they were still the plastic types. They offered a refund but with shipping etc it wouldn't have been worth it.

I have cad-ed up the bearing housing so i should be able to get some cut out of aluminium soon.
