Hi all, not sure if this is in the correct place. I have a bitsa. Wideline with atlas engine. I was wondering if anyone knows what my front brake was from? Thanks Carl

Thanks Carl<Hello Carl,Yes. If it's anything to do with Norton, this is exactly the place to be.The website message part is quite new, so it's taking a while for theold-school to join in.Everyone's watching though.I reckon you have a late 50's Manx tls there. There are shots of a late 50's Slazenger Manx with a huge scoop just like yours would have had.The fork slider may be Manx as well. Is it in a full width hub?I'm posting a shot of a very similar one with a conical hub.Maybe the one on your bike was retired following a fall, which wrote off theoriginal big scoop, so someone bodged on some ally & fitted it to their special?It could be a really good stopper.Nice one!PaulAttachments Manx-tls.jpg
