Hi,
Some guy on the net made his own Feather-bed frame, anyone know if these dimensions are accurate? Picture with red writing on it.
He advises an alteration to one of the measurements to fit a standard Manx petrol tank without it undergoing alterations & the degree of accuracy tolerances of his measurements is stated as 1/8 of an inch.
The actual picture is the frame he made. I know the Manx frame varied from the road-going machines, how accurate was the manufacture by Reynolds? Do old frames age well, under normal circumstances? An article about Dresda services, states they are always straightening the old featherbeds out and few do not have some sort of idiosyncrasy.
The side view picture is (supposedly), an official Norton one!
Cheers
