Nortons - General

Hello, new member and first post so hopefully right forum.

A Dominator I am rebuilding came with rear shocks shown in the picture. At 70mm diameter they are too wide and foul the mudguard.

Dimensions are 11" x 2-3/4" shroud diameter.

Does anyone know what they come from?

Hi does anyone know anybody in North Wales who could spray and reline a petrol tank?

Over the years I have seen a few Nortons with a hydraulic  front brake conversion, utilising parts from some car or van, does anybody know what the donor vehicle was?, I know there are probably dozens that would do, but scrapyards don't let you wa

Does not seem to work?

I know that the cable ends for magnetic clocks are different to those for chronos , but whats the difference ?.

I’m still cleaning and prepping my 1957 Norton, it has full width hubs which I’d always assumed were all aluminium but I now realise that the front hub is a bolt together steel drum and aluminium item.

Just found out that the legendary- or rather almost mythical- V8 Norton Nemesis is alive and well. NMM have passed it to 'Enry Cole or rather mechanical genius Allen Millyard to restore and hopefully have a crack at a speed record with it.

I received my link to this yesterday and downloaded it. Having skimmed through it- it is 164 pages- all I can say is Wow!

I discovered this in my old Norton instruction book.  It may be of interest to some members.  It just shows what an excellent level of service Norton (then in Plumstead Road)provided to owners back in 1964.
