Hello Nicholas,
The MRC2 is post war.The earlier, less tall, MRC1 was introduced in 1937.Up until 1936Nortons didn't have regulators as such, a three brush dynamo, a reduced charge resistance coill on the switch/ammeter panel and a four position light switch to select charging when required was all the order of the day. I kept the original setup for some time but got fed up with the occasional blown bulb so a two brush dynamo conversion and the fitting of a modern electronic regulator hidden under the saddle keeps the pre-1936 appearance without any of the hassle.
Below a pre-regulator wiring diagram and a photo of my own V-Reg II Dynoamo Voltage regulator fitted beneath my sadle.
Hope this helps.
