Hi Robert,

It's the oil jet that feeds the big end, via the timing side mainshaft, the oil is routed through the timing gear chest cover. Make sure your oil passages are clear of any debris, I like to use a pump type oil can and force paint thinner or kerosene (paraffin) through the passages. After that, do it again with the oil of your choice.

I think the foot rest brackets are the same for much of the post war, pre- featherbed range, it's the actual foot rest that is different and it just screws into the forged bracket.

I believe that Norvil carries them, though they aren't cheap.

Regards, Albert

Thanks Albert. I have got a new jet so will clear the oil ways as stated. Is there a special spring to hold the jet in place, or will any light spring do.

I just got a foot rest bracket last night.

Thanks, Robert

Just got a foot rest bracket. I will check/clean oil ways as advised. Is there a special spring to hold the Jet in place against the worm wheel, or will any light spring do.

Thanks for your help. Robert

Hi Robert,

My Norton spares list for 1957 gives the oil jet spring part number as #10617 (supersedes A.2/14) plate number MG.85. I would strongly suggest sticking to the factory standard for your oil jet spring.

Regards, Albert

Ok I will try and get one, Do you have any idea where. Russells dont have one.

Thanks Robert

Got a spring from Norville. Thanks

Is there a spring on the inside of the jet? How does the jet hold against the oil hole on the worm.

Is there also a spring on the outside of the jet
