[QUOTE="Rixon, post: 97914, member: 4079"] I've recently acquired a Norvin. It's in dismantled condition, with a few bits missing, and has been off the road for at least 25 years. It belonged to a good friend of mine that sadly passed away some ten years ago. I remember pushing it down the road with him in the late 1970's ! My intention is to restore it and incorporate some improvements along the way. I have a few choices to make. Front brake - I want something decent but it has to be a drum. I see there are lots of "replica" 4LS jobs available - Anyone have experience of a replica Robinson, or any of the others available ? Obviously price is a consideration and a £2000 plus job is not on the menu ! Anyone have anything suitable they may part with ? Wheels, I wish to retain Borranis or Dunlops but18 or 19 inch ? Electric starter - availability and owners experience ? 12v electrics - as before ? Carburetors - currently on Amals but they look a bit "beat up". All info and suggestions welcomed. [/QUOTE]
