Mercedes W113 distirbutor optical rotor
There is an optical rotor (my term) in a Mercedes W113 distributor. I've done a search but can't find the correct term or if they are still available. Need one for a customer's car. Seems like it would be easy to be laser cut a new one assuming the material isn't special.
Any ideas? It's the fan in the pic.

Is that a part from an Aldon Ignitor, a(US made) electronic points replacement system that all fits within the distributor cap

It probably is, customer had no idea of course.
Going to let him and his mechanic worry about it.

Might be easier to just switch over to a Pertronix setup

I recommended he do some research on a new ignition system. One of the blades had been broken off and was glued back on. I wanted to disassemble and restore but he was concerned about the blade. So I just polished it by hand. He was happy.
