These front brake cable U Clips have been manufactured using an original 'New Old Stock' Norton 1930's/40's U-clip as the pattern (see photos). 

I obtained a batch of 'New Old Stock' items some years ago, which were almost certainly WD16H War Surplus.  The accompanyning photos shows one of these original clips next to our newly manufactured item - the original Norton item has rust on it from storage.  Those clips proved so popular, we soon ran out - so decided to reproduce them. We have had ours lasercut from the original pattern and gauge - and have then made press tooling to form the same U shape as the originals. 

The brake clevis pin holes were puropsely lasercut fractionally undersize so that they could be drilled to the final clevis pin hole diameter once the U-clip had been pressed to shape. 

Once pressed to the correct shape (and checked against an original type Norton brake arm, as shown in the photo), we linish them and then they are satin nickel plated (similar to the original finish).  This plating looks far better and more original than many modern brake cable U clips, which often have a cheap cadmium finish.

Like all brake cable U-Clips - it is expected if purchasing these, that you will have experience of making up brake cables and adhere to all normal safety standards - and as they copy the original Norton pattern, these clips would accept the same type of cable ferrules as original Norton cables of that era.  They accept standard brake arm clevis pins (our Item 0357)

Not as cheap as offshore or generic brake U-Clips, but a lot of effort to reproduce the original Norton type.  Price is per clip
