Blunderbuss Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Hello, I’ve got “most” of a D6 dual spark. I’m just curious if anyone out there has an extra armature hanging around, or the bakelight distributor Caps. Or if someone has a 4 cylinder dual spark magneto, and needs this. I’d entertain a trade if some sort. Edited August 5, 2023 by Blunderbuss (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I am no expert. But a D6 is different than a DU6. I had an incomplete but hot DU6 many years ago. I gave it to a friend that had a couple cars that used six cylinder Bosch magnetos in case he might need the parts. While I expect a few parts may interchange? Overall, the two series are quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregush Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 So you are looking for cap that used 12 wires for 6 pairs of spark plugs? Looks like you are missing the electrode that goes from one of those two terminals to the front of the magneto.
