Nortons - General

Just read my very late copy of RH magazine and my hopes and heart have been boosted.  In the letters section there is a request to celebrate the " 75th Anniversary of the Featherded-framed Manx Nortons"  next year.

I am replacing the swing arm gusset plate on my slimline frame and wanted to know if there is anybody out there that can re-stamp the identification numbers to the new gusset plate?

Hello.Can somebody tell me if it's possible to tell what sort of bike a feather bed frame is from using the frame numbers. 

Thanks. 
Nick.

Today I bought a pair of roadholder forks on an autojumble, including yokes. The yokes have a width of 7" and the fork measures (from top of nut, to bottom of the lower slider) 31,5".

I have recently acquired a Norton Model 50 1959 wideline.  On taking the petrol tank of to get access to the carburettor I noticed a crease in the right side top tubing similar to the one on the attached photo.

aye up all me again :-) just noticed that on the front end of my commando ie wheel rim disc ( floater ) etc there are stars stamped on them ?

hi all new here , is there a list of the vin numbers that norton chose to be the production racers in 70s ?

Does anyone know of any firms that can safely and effectively remove rust from a petrol tank and re-seal it?

The back seam on my Dominator 99 is weeping. Can you please recommend a firm to repair it, ideally within 100 miles or so of Salisbury where I live so I can take it there. Would just lining it be a possible long term solution?

I am looking to register a Norton Model 99 Deluxe manufactured late 1959 it has a Northamptonshire registration of URP 703. URP was issued around the end of 1959/early 1960.
