New Web Site
August 2016
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.
Norman Headlamp Nacelle Assembly
January 2016
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).
