Hi.Could anyone recommend someone to rebuild my gearbox please (north England). It's fully working, but I'm in the middle of a full restoration and would like to get the bearings/bushes replaced.
Alternatively, anyone willing to give me the encouragement & confidence to try myself?!?
Thanks
Getting my engine together from a mix of old, really old, and new parts is an ongoing struggle. The question of the week regards the lipped side plate of the rockers, #40 in the diagram. It would seem to me that the plates should contact the side of the rocker on the inside flat but the new plates that I have contact plate lip to rocker shoulder leaving a gap on the inside of about .010". Easy enough to machine the lip a bit but not sure how they should fit.
Thanks,
Mike
I have reason to believe that my vertical shaft has been shortened but can't find any spec on the original length. Anyone got one available to measure? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi.
Ive been trying to source a rear brake arm lever and spring for 1947 International.
A2/469 S7 A2/470 S8
Norvile (although given the correct part numbers) ended up shipping an incorrect part out to New Zealand - and upon highlighting this error they were unable to supply correct part.
Ive tried the place in Austria (who I think can provide spring but not lever arm).
Thought to ask if anyone has any other sources to try?
Thanks, Al

A former owner of my Norton 16H of 1947, commented that he brought sidecar when he entered the country, could it be true? How can I know that?
Happy Holidays, good year 2020 Gerardo
I have an 1932 International 500 which at one point in its life has been fitted with a plunger frame (luckily it still has the girder forks). The frame number however matches the original 1932 one, according to the official documentation of the bike, which starts with the delivery date and first owner. I cannot find any hints of manipulation of the frame number, comparing with other Norton Internationals it appears to be correctly stamped (location, type, size, spacing and depth of the caracters, etc).
Just wondering if somebody could help me please.
I've recently acquired and restoring a 1947 model 18. I'm not sure I have the correct front Mudguard I've fitted the guard and the front stays and bottom hoop and they seem to fit fine but it has a centre bridge piece with no other fittings, I have a centre hoop which is far too big for anything. Is the bridge piece correct for this model or should it just have stays or a hoop?
Any help would be much appreciated Kevin.
