Howdy guys needing some part numbers for a 5 mb flywheel housing oring, is it just the same as the 3mb part ,cheers Andy

I've had my powerspark fitted 4 years now with no problems ,I'd never go back to points and condenser set up, mines a k8 kit for a duce dizzy it was cheap enough I bought a spare to carry in my tool kit
