Well, unfortunately any time I throw the checkbook at my projects, it just "bounces" off and lands on the floor. Gotta have a big Ebay purge of H-D parts, Norton parts, Triumph parts, collectibles, (wonder what an original Patty hearst "Wanted" poster from the Post Office is worth?), to scare up some $$$ for the Volvo project. All of this stuff just collects dust and takes up space.
An idea; I have been a member of the Norton Owners club for near 30 years. The US club and the International club (UK based), for decades have compiled from the membership, tips, "how-to" info, trial and error experience, electrical info, part numbers, alternative parts, aftermarket parts, performance/reliability modifications, specifications, etc, and produced an excellent and absolutely essential to any Norton owner, "Tech Digest" and several videos/CDs on engine rebuilds, trans rebuilds, etc, sold by the clubs for a nominal, affordable price. Easily "readable", too. Perhaps there is something or someone possible along these lines? The JTR and the Converse books/manuals leave a LOT to be desired and a lot has changed since these were produced. More info= more interest= more people making parts= easier/better builds= more demand for old Volvos=our cars increasing in value.
