- Mechanical engine parts are generally no problem. Electric parts are
- more difficult. The '57-'59 models have alternator and distributor unlike
- the older and newer models which had magneto ignition. I had some
- difficulties finding a new distributor cap in Norway, but buying from GB
- worked fine. A bit expencive though :-/ Monoblocks: Not bad at all...
- Nacelle ? What Nacelle..... (you don't need it) :-)
-
- These models are almost totally chromed, and I love the lustre!
- Can't wait until spring!
