If you look on eBay, there appear to be a number of regular sellers of these units - some new old stock. As far as I know, early Mk.1 Rubys had the type with the vertical bulge for the bulb. Seen from the outside, the arm has a clear bulge in it and the aperture in the B post the necessary "circular" cut-out. These were very complicated and fragile units and are very rare, though I've managed to mock up some non-working replacements for our car.
Later Mk.1 cars and all the Mk 2 had a simpler and stronger type with "straight" arms with a parallel slot in the B post - and you should be able to get something that fits. But, beware, the plate that holds the solenoid and other bits was made in several varieties to suit other makes - and it might be a good idea to ask a fellow Mk 2 owner to remove the covers inside the car and let you see what's what.
Here's all the known data on the subject: http://pub25.bravenet.com/forum/static/s...6&cmd=show
