Frame mounted tire (tyre) pump

Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can find a frame mounted tire pump for my '57 Norton model 77? The mounting points on my frame are 12 3/4" apart (323.85 mm) ?

Hi Eugene. You might not have noticed but the pump holder attachments are not welded to the frame they are screw clamped fitting, which means you can alter the length. As most pumps have a spring compression it gives you are large choice of fitting lengths. There are plenty of 12" pumps to be found, but I guess you want one with the fold down foot "stirrup"

My genuine original pump is made by APEX and is 12" long or slighlty shorter if you compress it against the built in spring.

Hope this helps
