1987 or 88, driving home from a week skiing the mighty Datsun started missing really badly & just limped into a petrol station...a quick check confirmed the points had cracked & broken

On foot, we checked every shop, petrol station for a replacement set - none!

Got on a payphone & called everything in the area...eventually found a supplier 150kms further down the road...

You guessed it, cleaned the broken part, glued it together - crossed fingers, toes & started her up...ran fine, drove down the road...fine, drove to the edge of town...fine, did 160-175kph all the way to the supplier. The points were changed & the damaged one glued to the dash with the same CA that did the original repair!
