1933 SV

You could click the 'Records' tab above to give you the link to factory records requests.

Hi David,

   Welcome to the forum. Your engine is the early 1933 type with the 2 main bearing crank and the transmission shock absorber on the crankshaft. This was used with the Sturmey Archer clutch and gearbox, but the clutch is the later Norton type but I cannot see which gearbox is fitted.
   Looking at the frame, my guess is that it could be a Model 19 as it has a cranked top tube and a large gap between it and the engine. As David C says, the best way will be to get a factory record from Chris Streather listed in your Roadholder magazine or the records section in the menu bar. 

Hi David,

   With the Norton 3 spring clutch you do not need the engine shock absorber. This should be the same fit as the plain taper and key sprocket fitted on later engines. These come in 3 different off-sets and with the 2 bearing engine you probably need the type with the chain-line furthest away from the engine. You will need to double check these as my suggestions are only what I can see in your photo. I would advise not to modify an original frame if there is an easier method to line up the chains.

Looks absolutely fabulous!! What a lovely project! Do keep the pictures coming please :))

It doesn't look that there is so much missing really it would be lovely to locate the age related parts and have it running in its current sleeping condition:))))
