And this is it! We’ve moved our website here at www.icenicam.org.uk and this new website contains everthing the old one had. For the time being, both this and the old site are operating, to make the transition as smooth as possible. We will, however, be gradually closing the old site as all our readers get used to our new address.
The Norman moped headlamp nacelle has been a problem for some time; the old plastic mouldings have been very prone to suffering embrittlement of the plastic and damage. Also, parts for the Miller lamp unit that was fitted to these assemblies have been particularly difficult to find. A lot of owners have long been searching fruitlessly for parts for these headlamp/nacelle sets.
Now Mopedland has come up with a solution, by creating a completely new master mould to produce new fibreglass mouldings. It would have been pointless to reproduce mouldings that needed the obsolete Miller headlamp unit so, to resolve this issue, the new Mopedland nacelle takes a cheap and readily available lamp unit assembly (which is supplied as part of the kit), from a Honda C50. This takes a 6V×15/15W headlamp bulb.
The nacelle kits are on sale now for £85, comprising: a new fibreglass moulded nacelle housing, a new headlamp rim/lens/reflector assembly (Honda C50) complete with a 6V×15/15W MPF headlamp bulb and socket fittings and 2 new 5mm stainless steel screws to fit the headlamp + 2 anti-shake nylon washers. The housing fits Norman Nippy Mk 2/type 2 (Villiers), Norman Nippy Mk 3 (MiVal), Norman Nippy Mk 4 (Villiers), Norman Lido Mk 1 (Villiers), and Norman Super Lido (Sachs).
We’ve heard some rumours lately that Brian Aplin is shutting up shop—it turns out that these rumours are completely false. Brian is still open for business and planning to stay that way.
