Does anyone know where I can get my 022 rebuilt in the Uk?

I tried this and couldn't find anywhere good. I had a bad experience with H&H Ignition. I sent to Bruce Smith in NY
http://www.sparkingplugs.com/2.html and it was rebuilt properly.
PRS have a sun testing machine and might rebuild it for you.
There maybe a simple fix you can do without a full rebuild. In the case of my 022 it was actually pretty good and probably didn't need rebuilding. What makes you think you need a rebuild?

Run it in a bench first, then decide..
My experience is that they seem to lag a bit in the start (900-1500) rpm and then work within limits until you back them, when they often lag a bit again.

Thanks both. Interestingly, Bruce in the US has offered to help with the rebuild. I am not a mechanic and the dizzy was pulled from the car by the restorer as it did not work at all. I will send it to Bruce for evaluation. Your replies confirm what I heard in that there isn't really anyone in the UK who specialises in this.
