Nacelle
« on: 22.01. 2020 18:12 »
For no other reason than I like the look of it, I’m considering getting a nacelle as fitted to (say) a B33 for my GF. Anyone done it?

If it was on a B33 it was on an A10.

My 56 has the “cow pat” nacelle, it was fitted as OEM, for that nacelle (as opposed to the later one) you will need the fork shrouds (no “ears”) and headlight shell (hole and tube for speedo cable) to suit the nacelle.

The speedo will need the bezel type to suit the rubber insert in the nacelle.

The later nacelle has attached fork shrouds. A bit simpler. I have a discarded one in my pile of bits. Not too keen on them.
