IDK if any other vendors sell one or not . Euro Motoelectrics in Denver sells electrical parts but IDK what brand they sell. I haven't had to buy one and IDK what is the best source.

Cheers Pete, the original one is over £200, obviously I don't want to pay that amount,  on the other hand I don't want to buy a cheap one and have problems with it.

You find now with older machinery that is now supported by the aftermarket because the OEM is no longer available that you can't judge the quality by the retail price. A $200 dollar part you buy in your home country or the western market is still the same $20 item that is made in China for example. The often massive price difference is simply down to retail margins and sales volumes. The ignition pickup is an example. When I went looking for them for the Daytona engine 5 or 6 years ago the commonly available aftermarket ones varied in retail price enormously but were all the same Chinese manufacture. The difference between the direct cost from China and what the retailers were selling them for was massive. So from memory the aftermarket wanted 80 or 90 dollars for them and I bought direct from the Chinese manufacturer for $10  each. I bought 2 and the Chinese one fitted not only looked identical to the OEM original but has worked fine ever since. Things change. Why pay a hefty mark up for the same item from the same manufacturer.
