1. Year of your vehicle : 1993
2. Model of your vehicle Rover Mini Sprite, 1275cc
3. We have the right Distributor cap and it fits however it doesn't fit over the rotor arm. We've tried different rotor arms but they're all pretty much the same, we cant compare to the original cap or rotor arm as they are gone.
4. Images are attached, not sure if they'll be much help.

They can be tighter than you might think, I presume it's all lined up with the little notch but just isn't going on far enough? This is the rover distributor with the black electronic ignition module on the side of it?

We've lined it up with the notch and tried pushing it in tight and it still doesn't go far enough and yes it is the rover distributor

Hmmm tricky one, how does it (and the rotor cap) compare to the images listed on minispares for the correct dizzy? 65dm4
