What We Restore

The Precision Heart of Classic Ignition

The Bosch ignition distributor controls the firing sequence of your engine — distributing high-voltage current to each plug at exactly the right moment, while mechanically advancing timing in response to speed and load.

When it wears, the symptoms range from rough idle and misfire to power loss and cold-start failure. Most workshops fit an aftermarket unit. We restore your original — to factory specification, documented and certified.

We work exclusively with Bosch distributors: the dominant ignition system on European classics from the 1950s through the 1990s, and on many American V8 applications.

Worldwide Service

From the USA, UK or Australia — We've Done This Before.

Sending a precision part abroad sounds complicated. It isn't. Here's exactly how it works, and what you need to know.

✈️
"Can I really ship a part to Germany?"
Yes. We receive distributors from the USA, UK, Australia, Switzerland, and across Europe every week. Use any parcel carrier, declare it as "used car part for repair," insure for its value. We'll guide you through it with packing instructions after your ticket.
💬
"Is all communication in English?"
Yes. Our ticket system, quotes, and correspondence are all in English. The test certificate is issued in English. You will never need to navigate German bureaucracy.
💰
"Does it make financial sense with shipping costs?"
A quality aftermarket replacement distributor costs €400–900 and is uncalibrated to your engine. A restored original — correctly calibrated and certified — often costs less and is unambiguously better. Many customers ship from the US for exactly this reason.
🔒
"What if something goes wrong in transit?"
Insure the shipment at your end. We insure the return. We photograph every unit on arrival and before dispatch. You are always informed of status, and we have never lost a customer's part.

"Sent my Porsche 904 distributor from Switzerland — nobody else would touch it. Radspieler machined the worn bushing in-house and returned it with a complete OEM test protocol. Runs perfectly. Outstanding work."

"My 1952 Mercedes Ponton had a rare pre-war-style distributor. After years of misfiring and rough running, the car starts first turn and runs like new. The printed test report documents everything. Exceptional."

"My W113 Pagode had been misfiring under load for two years. Two other shops failed to fix it. Radspieler found the worn shaft bushing immediately, machined a replacement, and the car now pulls cleanly to redline. Remarkable."

"My Maserati Indy has a very specific Bosch distributor — impossible to find as a replacement anywhere. Radspieler restored the original completely and the advance curve is spot on. Shipped to Italy without any issues."
