Marelli advance springs -where to buy?

[jedwards]

I am cleaning up my Marelli distributor prior to reassembly and would like to replace the advance springs, just to be on the safe side.
I don't want to go to all the effect of a fully engine rebuilt only to create a flat spot under load because I failed to refresh the advance mechanism's springs.

Can anyone advise where I might buy these?
They seem to be hard to find.

Jeff, there is an ad in the current Esses magazine (Early S Registry) advertising that all parts to restore the Marelli (including primary and secondary springs) are available individually and as a kit. I'm at work and don't have access to the page. The Esses magazine alone is worth the price of sign-up for that forum.

I've got a couple of the Marelli distributors as I removed them from engines and replaced with Bosch purely because tune-up parts were NLA - rotor caps especially. It would seem that they can now be happily re-commissioned.
