Title: Newacquisition
Post by: Dirt_Track on February 22, 2008, 06:57:51 PM

G'day all
I bought a 1929 Norton Model 18 in bits during the week.
It is missing the rear mudguard, carburettor and the tank is rusted out completely.....does anyone have the above hanging around in their shed looking for a new home.
Plenty of swaps or £'s.

You could join the Norton Owners Club? As somebody there is likely to have what you need?:

If I had any of those parts, I'd be collecting the rest to build a bike round them ! ;)

I think that you've got quite a lot of searching to do.  Parts for those "intermediate" Nortons that share little with the flat-tankers and yet also little with the post-vintage models are a bit on the scarce side I fear.

Have you tried George Cohen ?
