I used to have a very specific washer that I could use to lock the AAU in the fully advanced position to support static timing. It bore down on the points cam but the hole was wide enough to avoid the part of the shaft that the 'correct' washer bore down on. Once I was reasonably happy with the static timing the correct washer would go back on and the AAU was free to move in response to the laws of nature. There was no source to procure this washer, it was just something I found in my collection of old fasteners. My two remaining Norton projects feature an electronic ignition on one and a magneto on the other, no more points for me.
