Chromed Dolls Head Gearbox - Gear Indicator

This distinctively shaped pointer was used on all dolls-head and upright gearbox's to help indicate what gear you were it being held in place in front of the Norton gearlever by a special 'greasing bolt', which we also manufacture (see item 0671).

It was a useful little indicator as most Norton upright gearbox's (both pre-war 'Dollshead' type and postwar smooth cover type) had a brass gear indicator riveted to the top of gear box cover - and these needles were pressed into a shape that placed the top pointer directly over the gear - and moved as the gearlever moved.  

An original Norton item was used as the pattern for these, we have them lasercut, and then use press tooling to attain the correct position of the pointer.

This version is polished and chromed - with good quality UK chrome (we also offer a satin nickel plated version, which with time will dull to the original 'dull nickel' finish often used on original models - including WD16H's - this is Item 1079)

Price is each, they come supplied in a bag sprayed with Duck Oil to protect them in storage
