These laser cut brackets can be brazed or pressed onto a tube that feeds over the Norton footrest bar if your original brackets are bent or damaged, as so many often are. They are designed to hold the distinctive kidney shaped Norton rubbers.  come as a set of 4 brackets

These lasercut kidney shaped footrest rubber brackets are of exactly the same profile as original Norton items and can be used to replace your original items if they are damaged or missing.  Originally they were fitted over a tube, and the tube punched out into the recess on each side of the central hole on the bracket, to hold them in place.  The tube with brackets attached were then fitted over the length of bar that was screwed into the Norton footrest hanger on all roadgoing models.

It is worth noting that if you are missing the entire footrest rubber assembly - we also sell that as a complete unit (pair) - see Item 0211 in the same Fabrication section.  However these plates are useful if you wish to repair an original item, or make up your own set.

This type were fitted to most roadgoing models - i.e. Side Valve, OHV and SOHC . . . but we also sell similar footrest rubber brackets with an outer lip - which were as used on some competition International models - to stop your foot slipping off - Item 0209B, or the distinctive pre-war Manx type, with a much larger upright flap Item 0210 - which were normally brazed to the pre-war type rear frame fitting footrests

These laser cut brackets can be brazed onto your original footrests, as they are often missing or damaged.

They are designed to hold the distinctive kidney shaped Norton rubbers - For roadgoing Internationals, both inner and outer used the bracket without tab, but these are a variation on that design, with a tab similar to the full blown Manx type, in that the outer ones have an ear to stop the foot coming off.

The ears are not as pronounced as the original pre-war Manx type that we also reproduce (Item 0210), but are very similar to the competition type shown in the 1948 Spare Parts Catalog, and are far more likely to pass scrutineering if you are using the bike in track parades on modern tracks - I have fitted this type to my Big Plunger for this reason - Four pieces per set

Note: 2021, I am considering having both this item and the larger full Manx type 0210 made into footrest hanger assemblies.  Email on sales@racingvincent.co.uk if you are interested in reserving a set

The last photograph shows an original Norton (SOHC) International hanger casting (which we may replicate in the future) - which may have had this type of hanger plate fitted - particularly anything with a Clubmans or competition spec.

Pair of classic Norton 'D' shaped footrest rubbers, with Norton embossed on them as per originals, as fitted to all Norton roadgoing singles and pre-Featherbed race bikes

These laser cut brackets can be brazed onto your original footrests, as they are often missing or damaged. They are designed to hold the distinctive kidney shaped Norton rubbers - these are replicated from an original SOHC Manx model and have a distinctive shape on the outer bracket with a large vertical tab to stop the foot coming off the footrest in competition.  Item consists of 4 bracket plates - 2 x normal innter type, and 2 x Manx outer type

These have been replicated from an original SOHC Manx bracket I was given many years ago - and are most probably pre-war.  If you look at some genuine period photographs of early Manx Nortons you will see them fitted with similar brackets, normally mounted on rearset photographs.

When we had these lasercut, we had them made with the same notch's  in them as normal roadgoing brackets - so they could be put onto a similar tube as the roadgoing models.  However, the last photograph shows an original pre-war Manx Norton footrest hanger - and as can be seen, there are traces of braze attached to this hanger - where originally brackets just like these would have been attached.  Therefore, if you are intending to replicate the original competition type (early Manx) footrest hangers - these are the brackets you need to make them.

Note 2021:  We are considering having a small batch of these rear mounting early Manx type hanger brackets manufactured as complete assemblies.  Email us on sales@racingvincent.co.uk if interested

This Norton footrest set consists of the Norton 'D' type rubbers, the complete tube and both 'D' shape plates, as well as the two long bolts that hold the rubber footrests in place. In fhis form the complete assembly can just be slid over the original centre footrest shaft, and then retained by the big (chamfered) end nut, as per originals.

These assemblies are of the classic Norton 'D' shaped assemblies as fitted to most Norton singles from the 1930's through to the 1950's

Couple of things to note - these are made complete by my offshore (cheap and cheerful!) company, so may not be exactly the same as my lasercut plates (which are taken from originals), but are still well made and offer very good value for money . . . I could not get them made in the UK for this amount! The other minor point to note is that these are obviously for road going Inter's - If you want the proper correct early Manx type, with the tab to stop the foot sliding off, then you need to look at the lasercut competition type plates I also supply - in origina road pattern (as these are), with a small extended tab (to stop foot slipping off) and full pre-Featherbed Manx type - which have a large tab on the outside - Items 0209, 0209B and 0210).

These pillion footrest hangers and Norton embossed footrest rubbers are a good replica of the heavyweight pressed steel type fitted to Norton single models through the 1930's to 1950's - i.e. most Rigid and Plunger framed road going models.

These are made off-shore by one of the companies that make Norton single parts - but I believe they originally made many of their parts from a pattern WD16H bike (which I suspect they had in their possession) - and therefore I think the 'pressing' of these pillion footrest hangers look close to the originals.  As you can see from the photos, they are not just crudely bent - but instead have actually been pressed flat at the sides, as the originals would have looked.

Also they come fitted with the very nice 'Norton' embossed footrest rubbers, and together represent very good value for money.  (note: we also sell the same rubbers seperately, should you wear this set out - see the other items lstings in this same section).

They are lightly painted in black paint by the manufacturer - but as you can see, this is just to prevent from rust in storage, and will have chipped and scratched in transit - so I would recommend priming and re-painting before fitting.

As you can see - I have included a picture taken from the 1948 Norton Spare Parts List - which shows the same type of pillion hanger listed.  Next to it is the pillion mount lug - which is of the 'rounded' cast type, as fitted to plunger road frames with pillion footrests.  For Rigid frames - the mounting lug was actually part of the  rear frame bottom tube.

Note: if you have a later swinging arm (or Featherbed) Norton single - then those pillion assemblies were of a different design, and these hangers will not fit those later models.  I have shown a photo of the later lug fitted to swinging arm models - which instead used a cast hanger with central tongue to fit the lug in the picture.

Final point:  I may get round to manufacturing the hex head through bolt and nut (in stainless steel) for these at some point in the future (a long list of other stuff first).  Email us at sales@raingvincent.co.uk if interested in a pair

Nice copy of the pillion footrest rubber - as shown in the 1948 Norton Spares catalog . . . which are of the correct type used in conjunction with the pressed steel footrest hangers which were used by Norton's on all Rigid and Plunger framed models of the 1930's/40's/50's.

These ones are also embossed with 'Norton' on them (shown very faintly in the 1955 catalog as being correct), which looks good

These pillion footrest rubbers are of the type shown in the 1955 Norton Spare Parts Catalog as being fitted to the swinging arm frame which was used for the Norton ES2, Model 19S and Dominator in the mid/late 1950's.

For this type of frame, the earlier (wider) pressed steel pillion footrest was replaced by a more normal 'bar' type footrest hanger - with this type of pillion footrest rubber. I cannot be sure, but I think this type of rubber was also used on Featherbed Internationals and Dominators. Price is per pair

Period gearchange rubber, similar in design to the one shown in the 1948 Norton Spare Parts Catalog as fitted to the Plunger Manx gearchange lever.

Good quality gearchange rubber - of type used in the 1950's.  

Very  similar to item 0338, but I think these were very similar to those used on Norton roadgoing bikes in the 1950's (I certainly used to use this type on my 1955 Norton ES2)
