Description
Overview:
The Crankcase Bush/Magneto Drive Spindle is a genuine JAP spare (OEM reference 12888) for maintaining the magneto drive on vintage JAP industrial engines, including JAP 5 and JAP 6. It is a precision-machined metal component that supports and guides the drive from the crankcase to the magneto, helping to keep the shaft aligned and the ignition timing stable.
