Hi Kay,

It may be just me but I have no idea what you are actually asking !

Pictures would help or a page from a parts book.

Also it would be worth posting in 'Lightweights' rather than 'General'

Hello there,

Like Tony I am a bit baffled as to what you have in mind.

If you just want to adjust the headstock bearings the adjuster nuts are underneath the head stock, Slacken the lock nut first, then adjust and retighten the lock nut. Don't slacken the chrome nut at the top of the headstock. I've attached a picture of the headstock bolt.

If you want to replace the bearings be warned that these are loose ball bearings and you need patience to get them all set in with some grease.

Thank you for the pic Patrick,

This is great help.

In the Norton book for Jubilee's i have.

The race, adjusting top looks a wierd shape.

I really appreciate the help as this is the first Jubilee i have

ever rebuilt. Only other Norton i have been rebuilding is my partners 650ss Dunstall cafe racer. Just can't get the right exhausts to fit it, so will proberly have to have them specially made.

Anyway, thanks for your help mate.

Regards

Kay
