- This listing is a 'combined' listing for the 1925 Norton Spare Parts List facsimile - Item 1150, as well as the 1925 Maintenance Instructions for Touring and Speed Models facsimile - Item 1151.  When buying here as a 'bundled' item, they are sightly cheaper than buying both indidvidually.  See the individual listings for more information on each.

- This listing is for a high quality A5 Facsimile of the 1950 Norton Spare Part List - quite a rare year, in that it is similar to the definitive 1948 Spare Parts list (our Item 0230 . . . and the definitive catalog we use for referencing many of our parts), but wtih a number of minor changes - and the very important addition of the first DOHC (Manx) cambox and conical hus.  Reproduced from an original catalog in high quality A5 format.

This catalog is a faitful reproduction of the original - and the same size (although for some reason, the original 1950 catalog was slightly taller than A5 format .. . a paper size no longer avaiable - but also unnecessary, as it was just a taller blank top and bottom margin -our facsimile is printed on high quality double sided A5 format, but with less blank space on the top and bottom borders, as per our 1948 Spare parts catalog).

As always with our facsimile literature, this spare parts list is faithfully replicated from an original 1950 list in very good condition (including the inner first page - which has a red coloured Norton sticker placed over it, advertising a small price increase for 1951!), and has all marks/fingerprints etc carefully removed.  

The 1950 catalog on first impression is extremely similar to the 1948 Spare Parts List (which we always recommend regular customers should obtain a copy of - because we use the origtinal part numbers in that year to reference many of our own parts) - however, on closer inspection, there are lots of minor differences in the 1950 addition - which also includes the addition of the first 'Laydown' gearbox, conical Manx Norton hubs, slightly amended front fork detail and differences to petrol tanks etc.  Also for the first time (and possibly only time - as I never saw later DOHC cambox's listed in subsequent spare parts list), this spare parts catalog shows an exploded diagram of the first 'Longstroke' DOHC cambox, as fitted to the 1950 Gardengate Manx Norton, alongside the SOHC cambox which continued to be fitted to International models until 1955.

This catalog is 78 pages in total, and as always with these catalogs provides useful and interesting reaading.

Price is Each.

This listing is for a bundle of 3 seperate documents relating to the electrical fitment for Norton single cylinder road models from the early 1930's to 1962.  The first document shows a collection of original wiring diagrams for most Norton single cylinder variants, while the other two documents are A4 format facsimiles of Lucas Spare parts lists from the 1950s.  Together these 3 documents should be very useful for any restorer of a Norton single model about to tackle the electrical tasks, or just as a useful read and reference for the future.

Each document is printed on high quality A4 100gsm paper and come bundled together in a sealable plastic bag.

Details of the 3 documents are as follows:

Document 1: Norton Single Cylinder Models Wiring Diagrams - Early 1930's - 1962:

This is a RacingNorton publication giving a chronological list of the different Wiring Diagrams used on Norton singles from the early 1930s to 1962 (A4 format, 14 pages).  It consists of 8 seperate wiring diagrams - covering all the main wiring setups used on Norton models from the early 1930's, through to the last 1959-62 alternator models.  It even includes a particularly rare 'tank top panel' variant from 1939.

Each of these diagrams have been sourced from original period Norton maintenance and workshop publications in my possesion - some of which I have never seen available elsewhere. 

As well as the wiring diagrams, we have also included a couple of pages showing period line drawings of various electrical fittings for Norton models - particularly, pictures of both the earlier 3 brush type Lucas Mag/Dyno and the later two brush type, as used in conjunction with the Lucas regulator unit (of which we sell a modern copy, like many of the electrical parts used on Norton models).

As a footnote on this document - like many Norton single enthusiasts, for many years I had made the assumption that there were only a couple of variants on the Norton single cylinder models wiring harness - It was only when I started to look through some of my rarer original Norton documentation when I realised there were so many variants, hence why I thought it useful to put this document together.  If nothing else - I hope you will find it provides an interesting read -showing the slight variations between the different drawings

Document 2: Lucas Spare Parts List for Norton Motorcycles 1956 - Facsimile

This useful 8 page document is an indispensible document to anyone restoring a mid 1950's Norton model - who wants to try and restore their electrical system to as close to original specification as possible.

The inside front cover shows a summary table by model type (i.e. OHV, Twins, SOHC models) - with each component area covered and parts numbers shown, and then each area (i.e. Ammeter, Horn, Horn Push, Magdyno etc) is shown in more detail - with a list of part numbers and variations - which even includes the variants of export models.

Most importantly - this particular Lucas spare parts list includes small but clear pictures of each of the main components fitted to the Norton models for that year - and invaluable visual aid to the restorer (many Lucas spare parts lists are parts numbers only).  

This is quite a rare publication - but our version is taken from a particularly nice quality original I have had for many years, with any marks or faults removed (as with all our facsimiles).

Document 3: Norton Section Exerted from the - Lucas Spare Parts List for (all makes) Motorcyles 1936-57 - Facsimile

Again - this document is very useful for any restorer of Norton models - as it lists all the Lucas parts used on all Norton models from 1936-57, broken down into seperate lists by all the main model/variants, and then the different component part variations within each of those lists.

The original document was much larger than the 12 page 'exert' we have reproduced here - and it covered all major motorcycle makes over that 20 year period, that fitted Lucas electrical components - but as I was only able to borrow the document many years ago . . . I scanned the cover and index pages, and the pages that covered all the Norton models - which is what is included here.

Again, another rare and highly useful publication, unfortunately there is only one small picture section (showing a generic page, later in the documents - detailing different Lucas headlamp light switchs) - but the real value of this document is that for any Norton model over that period - it shows what magneto/headlight/switch/horn variants that were fitted to a Norton model type for a particular age range.

FYi for this facsimile - it is intended to cover the Norton model range only (which takes approximately 4 pages of the 12 pages) - but as part of capturing Norton models, it has also captured some Montgomery, New Imperial, OEC, OK Supreme and Panther models!

Final small point on this final document - as I scanned it many years ago - although it is printed on the same high quality paper as all our documents - some of the Lucas parts numbers are slightly faint - but all are legible, you might just need a small magnifying glass to pick some up!

This listing is for all 3 documents supplied together
