This is the large shielded single row ball bearing fitted to nearly all Norton upright and laydown Norton gearbox's from the early 1930's through to the late 1950's gearbox's.

This is a good quality 'Nice' brand American bearing, of the same quality as the original bearing (often orignal bearings were Hoffman, now unobtainable) -  It is of the fully shielded variety (most originals were shielded on the outer side, but then fitted with a a seperate shielding washer on the inner side - beween bearing and sleeve gear, which we also sell - Item 0853 or 0854)). 

It can be fitted as it is supplied (i.e. with shielding on both sides, or if you prefer, the shield on one side can be easily removed with a screwdriver before fitting (email me for more details). 

February 2022 Availability Update:  Like so many original imperial bearings fitted to Norton single models - good quality branded bearings of this type are now obsolte and getting very difficult to source.  Nice branded gearbox bearings are another example of this.  As at Feb 22 we have managed to obtain another small batch - but it was very difficult this time and prices have risen a great deal since our last batch 3 years ago.  As with all obsolete bearings - all I can tell you for my own bike builds is:  I know they will not get cheaper . . . so I just grit my teeth and fit them now while I can still get them!.

FYI, the latest batch (as with many older bearings - have been re-boxed by the bearing supplier, this is standard practice with many older bearings where they have sat on the shelf for some time - and the original packaging has got tatty, the bearing supplier will put them in fressh boxes before sending out (rest assured - the bearing inside is still correct and brand new!)
