9. Vincent Parts

This product listing is for an excellent quality modern 'Solid State' dynamo regulator which can be used to replace original 'insides' of the notoriously unreliable Lucas 33018a type mechanical regulator, fitted to most Norton single roadgoing models both pre and post war.  

NGK B6ES Spark Plug to fit all Norton road going single engines, i.e. Model 30/40, OHV ES2/Mod 18/Mod19 and SV 16H/Big4.  It also fits Vincent 500cc and 1000cc models (Series B/C/D).  

I use NGK spark plugs on all my bikes now, I have found them to be the best of all modern plugs for quality and reliability.  The B6ES is equivelant to a Champion N5 and is the 'normal' roadgoing fitment for Norton singles and Vincent models.  The other common fitment for these engines was the B7ES (Champion equivelant N4) which is a slightly harder plug and may be more suitable if you prefer harder/hotter running.  I tend to keep at least one of each in my tool roll on road bikes, as spares - we sell the B7ES grade as well - Item no 0576

NGK B7ES Spark Plug to fit all Norton road going single engines, i.e. Model 30/40, OHV ES2/Mod 18/Mod19 and SV 16H/Big4.  It also fits Vincent 500cc and 1000cc models (Series B/C/D).  

I use NGK spark plugs on all my bikes now, I have found them to be the best of all modern plugs for quality and reliability.  The B7ES is equivelant to a Champion N4 and is an alternative to the slightly softer B6ES (item number 0575). You may find your engine runs slighlty better on this grade of plug if you often run at high speeds or your engine runs hot, as this is a slightly harder (colder) plug.

I tend to keep at least one of each in my tool roll on road bikes, as spares - we sell the softer B6ES grade as well - Item no 0575

This is a genuine Lucas - empty battery box of the large rubber (B38-6) type - which is the type of 6v battery originally fitted to a number of british bikes of the 40's/50's/60's - including both Norton and Vincent singles.  It was also not unusual to fit this type of battery to Norton singles of the 1930's, as a replacement for earlier T-Shape batteries which were discontinued after WWII.

This empty battery box is a modern (hard rubber) replica of the original Lucas type (but still manfactured by Lucas), but does not have any battery inside it - instead it is ready to take a modern 'gell cell' battery.  In the 3rd and 4th photograph I show one of those modern dry cell batteries (not included) - which will fit snugly in the case.  Note:  I may shortly be offering thes dry cell battery for sale as well, email for details when placing order if you would like to order one

Classic 'Champion' spark plug cap, Type WCX600, with suppressor fitted.  A very popular classic model of HT spark plug cap, fitted to many british bikes in the 50's-60's.   

Front Number plate, painted with a black finish.

This number plate has a sporty rake on on one side (which would be facing the rear of the bike.  However - if you prefer the symetric shape that was adoped on some bikes (i.e. the Vincent used a symetric front number plate commonly), then it is a simple job to copy the shape of the other end onto a cardboard template and then use this as a template to help cut away the 'rake' part on the other end, leaving a symetric style plate.  I have done this with one of these plates when fitting one to my Vincent Comet restoration

Tufnol spacer flange to fit between cylinder head and 'flange' type carburettors - i.e. Amal TT/RN, Monobloc and Concentric carbs.  This listing is for a 32mm bore spacer, 6mm wide.  See listing for details. Price per each.

This is for a throttle needle to fit original Amal Type 29 and 89 (Pre-War) and Type 289 carburettors - i.e. the type with seperate floatchamber, a slighlty bigger version of the 276.  These were fitted to a number of marques in the 30's - 50's, most notably Vincent singles and twins,  up until the end of 1954,  i.e pre-Monobloc.  Price is Each

This is the thick 'D' Shaped gasket that fits underneath the HT pickup fitted to Lucas K2F Type magnetos, where the HT Pickup is held by a clip.  These are high quality UK manufactured gaskts. Price is Each.
