norton jubile questions
« on: February 09, 2007, 05:31:58 AM »

ive been working on my little jubilee twin and have hit the odd snag , the last lad that had it ran amok with hermatite or some other red stuff all over the engine ,he must have poured it on, it was even on valves.luckily thebike was only ran for a few minutes after this but unluckily itsthat bad ive had to get new gaskets and strip the engine . my problem (at the moment) is with the clutch drum ,in the centre of this there is a metal plate (which was cracked enough that  i'll have to weld it/make one and underneath that theres a cushdrive of sorts ,the rubbers in this are extremly soft ,as if chemicals have went to work on them ,there was a lot of waste rubbr around the area , soft and mushy bits are not good for the engine and this is what led me to go as far as the cushdrives.does anyone know of a fix or a place to get replacment parts?.i know the bike was made around the norton/villers era so maybe some villers clutches would be the same (guessing there) .im also looking for rims for the bike and 2 exausts as the originals have a bit of rust o them ,i almost bought a set on e bay but the price went a bit too far to justify .help apprieciated .

You should find that Norvil Motorcycles http://www.norvilmotorcycle.co.uk/ have the parts you need:

Clutch parts suitable for the Lightweight models are marked 'L'. (C,D,L,S).
http://www.norvilmotorcycle.co.uk/clutch.htm

They seem to list what you need.

Some Lightweight parts are also available to members of the Norton Owners Club through their spares scheme:

thanks soo much for that , saves a fair bit of headscratching trying to figure an option .i had thought of the norton owners club  but wondered would it be worth joining while im in ireland as the benifits seemed mainly for england ,ie insurance/meetings etc .i'll check out their site more now .
thanks again .
