Australian Josh Brookes has signed a last minute deal to compete in the Bennetts Lightweight TT.
The 33 year old has added to his Norton rides after agreeing a deal with Ryan Farquhar and his IEG/KMR Kawasaki team.
He takes over the bike originally earmarked for Hudson Kennaugh who has withdrawn from the meeting.
