Still here to take requests for those unobtainable, essential, Norton parts

Raised this thread to remind folks that the Parts Commissioning system is still live and always ready to accept the requests raised through the form at the head of this forum.

It's been a while. If you are new to this, read the first post and then the following threads will give you an idea how we gauge the necessity for NOC to commission that unobtainable essential part for the spares scheme.

I have been looking for some time for a reasonably  "correct" long steel chrome  plated STD  front mudguard ( with "V* at front) as fitted to the first 650 's  7" forks. Also I think used on  painted  std 88/99 and  singles.  I have several "imposters " !! There is an unplated listed on the NOC site but the poor single   photo does not  give any  clarity..( dont want to add to my collection) No one seems to make a good shape  slimline dommy seat or checkered cover ,especially if you are into the clip down year 1960 ?. Probably not enough demand.Slimline brake switches are listed by several suppliers  but not stocked  ( have you tried to convert a triumph one ?), never again. 

Hi Robert, sorry you have not found the replica you want.

I hope you have been able to ride the bike, never the less. I am 5 years younger than you, and find the heavyweights, heavy.

Yesterday Metal Magic and Renovation Spares still appear to be trading, as per the 2020 thread, on the same subject, in this chain. Pleased to see popular auction site still has chromed and unchromed fenders from abroad claiming to be good handmade copies. 

IMHO a raw mudguard copy, which will be a good start for a skilled metalworker, can work under your instruction until you are satisfied, then get it chromed. 

The same advice I gave in 2020.

Keep riding

Peter

A batch of centre [prop] stands and battery carriers for single downtube swinging arm frames, ie ES2 and Model 7 would be welcome. Part numbers are identical for both models being H12/524 and H12/586.

As stated at the top of this thread, please raise requests through the form and submit.
Why? 
Multiple requests for the same part might show a shortage. 
Have you looked everywhere? Where? 
Does it stop you riding your bike? 
Have you placed a 'Wanted' in Roadholder? BTW it is staggering what members have in their sheds. 
Nothing at the traditional parts suppliers? 
Or reasonable alternative? Switch, ignition, horn, mudguard, headlight..etc. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

Peter
