Default 2wd dizzy problems

Hello everyone

Got bit of an issue with my 2wd dizzy I need the Seal that seats under the phase sensor that is inside the distrubutor, not the o-ring that goes in between the engine and dizzy.
Burton say its not a service part and need to get a new dizzy altogether(all for this shaft seal ).
Can anyone help.
thanks

There isn't a seal there, there is a interference fit bush made from crushed iron particles.
These sometimes give trouble, but can be easily fixed with a OILITE bush repair for about £20, I've done 6 or 7 of these without issue, and this is what mine runs, no seal in sight.
