I am restoring the above and currently the bike is fittted with a pre war plunger conversion.
I would prefer to replace the rear frame section with an originanl rear end.
Anybody out there with this section or a complete frame or any useful contacts

If its been well done that is a facinating little bit of history.

And you can use it while hunting for parts which may be sought after, and tough to track down.

Thanks R

It looks like a proper workshop conversion and may well have to go down the route of restoring it as is to get it on the road.... but thought I would try to locate correct rear end first.

Couple of Nortons that have been similarly converted are around, owners are immensely proud of them, and attract a lot of interest. Mostly from 'experts' who tell that they shouldn't be like that. Even though they are a legitimate bit of of the sequence of motorcycle engineering.

Rather rare to see these days, as most 'restorations' obliterate all the interesting bits, and are lost to history ?
