Rotary

Hi everyone, I have decided to make my IP2 look Classic[ish]. I have what might be a Classic Wiring loom, the IP2 loom and An IP2 workshop manual. Can anyone help me with;

* do I have a twin rotor or single rotor model, how can I tell?

* Is the classic loom basically the same as IP2 EXCEPT FOR the police equipment?

* Does anyone have a classic wiring diagram I can buy or know where I can find one? I have look on the net but just come back to where I was earlier.

Many thanks Roger 

Thanks to Chris Harvey, as reported in the last edition of Roadholder, newly manufactured rubber chain gaiters are available for the first time for many years. Chris's email was incorrectly printed and should be: chris.harvey@ntlworld.com.

When fitting new gaiters Richard Negus always advised rivetting the chain rather than using spring links. Mine had a spring link on it and I must confess that I replaced it not having the tools to rivet the link. Of course now its back together I am not sure that I did the right thing!

Hi

I have been sorting through the loft and found an F1 sales brochure, with another JPS brochure titled Bitch.

A slip of paper stating that the Commander cost £6999.33p and the F1 Sport at £8998.78 all including car tax and VAT which was the one I was after at the time.

There is also a letter and order form to me dated 24/10/1989 this gives a price of  a Norton F1 as £12700.00 make of it as you will, signed by David W O'Neill.

Also a nice sized factory colour picture of an F1, add to this 4 Norton Postcards.

Anybody interested?

Hi,

does anyone know if the Norton Motors Digital ignition unit (little black box under the seat, not the advance and retard unit), a later fitment to my Interpol II is available or repairable, mine is giving me all sorts of problems.

I have 25 mags that were owned by my mate Dave Evans if anybody wants them. I am in Reading Berkshire. Thames Valley branch.

Hi,

my engines nearly ready for rebuild, just need to obtain 'rotor bearing circlips', does anybody know if these are specials or would stock circlips do, they need a small amount of 'thinning down 'as they stock items are 2mm and Norton items are 1.7mm thick The stock items are about 80p each, Andover Nortons items are £15+ each !

A friend of mine is looking for somebody competent to rebuild the rotary engine on his 1990 Commander which he has owned from new.
