Gary’s bread and butter
Saw this and was struck just how huge it was and also that it had suicide doors and only two of them.

Maybe there is someone out there who fitted breakerless points and removed the insulated block?

That is a very kind offer perhaps I could buy it off you if you have no use for it and you think it is ok?
