Thanks for your replies.
The dynamo gear is original and looks good. The bush on the dynamo end is a little bit loose (you can feel it). I would be happy to accept this as the sole reason except that I travelled thousands of miles on the bosch distributor that was in the car for the previous 8 years. I removed the bosch for performance reasons despite it being ok otherwise.
Does anyone sell the oilite bush for the dynamo?
What is the best replacement gear? The current one is steel, but the gear on my old bosch is bronze or something similar.
I’ll reveal the supplier of the gear once I have had the opportunity to contact them.

I had two of these fail in a similar way on a rebuilt distributor, one after a few hundred miles, the second after just 12 miles. They were supplied new but were mild steel not hardened - worth checking on yours.
I have since re-fitted an original and have had no problems since. The supplier was unhelpful.
Peter.
