Dave Rademacher here in the states lost and alone.I am putting in a pats order and all seems well until I reach the cables. I have a 1954 Norton big 4. The parts I am in need of are the front brake, throttle, spark advance, comression release and clutch cable, In the spares list under singles they mention Jubilee/Navigator and Electra. I have the orginal parts list but the numbers do not match. I saw one posting that for the roadholder parts there are old numbers and new. Is there a parts cross list I can purchase?? In the parts manual under "used on" I see I,16H,18,ES2,30,and 40. Is this what I should go by in ordering parts. Once again I appologise for bothering eveyone with these questions, but I would like to learn all I can and want to order the correct items the first time. Dave Rademacher Minnesota USA

Possibly the best I can suggest is that you contact Russell Motors in the UK. They used to have (and possibly still do) a huge stock of the old big Norton singles parts. See the attachment for details.

Dave,

If Russells can't help, try JJ Cables Limited.Phone 01926 651470

e-mail cableman7@hotmail.co.uk

They made me a full set of cables for a 1938 Norton a couple of years ago - everything fitted perfectly.

Thank you for the replys. I believe I found the items I needed through Russell motors. My only issue is I am unable to contact them at

spares@russellmotors.co.uk

as the the ad mentions. I do not know if I am holding my mouth wrong when I am sending the email or what the problem is.

I guess I need help with this also. If nothing else I will get up early and ring them.

The dial out code from the US to the UK is 011 44.

For Russell's dial 01144 207 228 1714, and ask for Les.

You are around six hours behind in time, start phoning any time after your 5 am !

David - Russell Motors number is certainly (0)20 7228 1714....So +442072281714They don't open on Monday but yesterday was a public holiday here so maybe they were shut today as well. I just rang them but it's 5:30 here and I'd expect spares to be shut by now. It rang normally.Good luck. But I suspect the cable specialist Roger listed will be more likely to have what you need.

I can ring them tomorrow if you like. I'm happy to call since I need to see if they have the oil I want in stock (they are just 2 miles from home).

Once again thanks to all.

On my other question, is there a list of part numbers that crossover from old numbers to newer AMC numbers?? I see a number in my spares list of D12/268 front brake control cable complete 1,16H,18,ES2,30,40 and in the parts list from the club under singles it shows SS18 C1_24987 Navigator/Electra

I want to order the correct parts but do not know how to cross over the club numbers.

Again sorry about being a pest but to me it is worth the work to own the Norton as to a Honda or other common bike over here.

Thank you to all for the help

Hi all, sorry to have been off the site a while, stacks of magnetos & dynamos to repair for customers.Dave got ahold of me today, the good news is, I have a copy of the Norvil supersession list from Les Emery & Daves old part number for the brake cable (D12/268) crosses to new number 023593 ! All is good with the world again :)
