I have been reading the International Norton Owners Association Tech Digest in relation to my '74 Mk2 Roadster.
On page 5-2 they say that the alternator rotors on older Nortons ('68 - '73) have a tendency to self destruct and a welded rotor should be fitted in place - P/N 54202275 or P/N 60600684 (Lucas P/N I assume).
I have checked the P/N on my rotor and it is P/N 5421006L. Last two digits are a bit hard to read.
Would my rotor be okay or should I replace it?
In the article it says if the rotor self destructs it can take the end of the crankshaft with it - scary.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers Don
