I have recently taken ownership of a Daytona engine that has several Staccato parts fitted. I am wondering if anyone has any leaflets or adverts, that could be copied, from when Pat Townsend was marketing these parts as I would like to know more.

Aye Richard,
Run a Google search for "Pat Townsend, Staccato" and you will find plenty to read.
Pat and John Wittman even 'cooked up' a "six speed gearbox" between them for I believe John's "short stroke" ~350 motor.
Eldert may care to add a "view" as well.
Good health, Bill

last year i got a Staccato camshaft end cap thru some horse trading .
it was made from magnesium but after putting it on the scales it was just as heavy
as a original end cap .
i think Brian Silver from Moto Marianna use to sell some of Pat Townsend's parts

I have a 350 WC engine on the workbench with a magnesium primary cover, “staccato” cast into it. I thought the dry clutch conversion was Nova (the transmission apparently is) but Staccato must have produced dry clutch conversions. The cast cover is quite crude and heavy for magnesium.
