Technical Replacement cap and Rotor Mallory YL11A???

So I've been searching around and it doesn't look like Mallory or anyone else for that matter makes a replacment cap and rotor for the old YL11A Ford Model A distributor. Mine is still okay, but I'd like to have a spare around. Is NOS stuff pretty much the only option??? Or is there anything else thats interchangable?

 

could any one help with a rotor ? have the old cast iron Mallory for model a.. got burned on epay..

 

I'm in the process of trying to accomplish bringing replacment caps and rotors to market. At least a custom one for myself. I'd like to know how many of you would actually be into that. I start my own thread soom. But if you are and read this let me know.

I would deff be interested. They are hard to find nos and some of us have a bunch in there distorbtors or at least I do. My rotor is stripped and spins on shaft.

Remember that thee things can use the 8 cylinder lower cap, hidden under the 4 cyl lid for aesthetics. I believe rotor is the same as V8 on the 2-piece cap aluminum Mallorys and on the last version of the iron one, which is same size as the big aluminum one. The '50's 8 cylinder stuff is easier to find NOS and is fairly plentiful in decent used condition.
There are at very least two earlier 2-piece cap Mallorys for the bangers, probably more, first one introduced while the A was still in production...if you need parts for one of those you are in big trouble!

 

A rotor is still available from NAPA in their Echlin line. Like Bruce said, an 8 cylinder cap can be used; in fact, I used to have a Mallory top cover that blanked off every other plug wire hole.
