Refitted and the centrifugal advance works smoothly with no play, no binding. The weights were scrap anyway so nil to lose. Pics here after initial weld and after filing.

Excellent work there! While i remember it, i found the name of the business i was thinking of and checked them out only to find they only do Lucas distributors!
Forgot to post back to let you know though, sorry about that!
