I've just purchased my first Norton, a 1957 model 50 350cc. Could anyone please recommend a maintenance manual (Haynes or the like)??

cheers Dave

Haynes only cover the Heavy twins and Commando models

Try this bunch for these two:

Parts list etc do come up on ebay but people ask hefty amounts for them, those above are new spriral bound photocopied originals but have the advantage of being clean and clear.

Finally look on ebay for these two small format hard-bound handbooks, they come up quite regularly and are very helpful. If do you spot one, check the date of printing covers your model- really early stuff does get offered- anything after 1955 will suit you.

All luck,
