The below photo shows if you look carefully a lug circled in Red that has a 5/16" x 26TPI female thread tapped in it, was this lug used for assembly in the factory and is it best blanked off with a bolt or am I missing something?

I've just seen on some photos of some Nortons that a plate links the forks to the frame using this lug, I never had a plate there originally and can't see it listed in any parts lists or drawings, so is this also something that has been removed over time?

hi julian,thats the anchor for the steering dampner,if you look in the parts for sale section ,there is a stripped forks which shows some of the parts
hope this helps
cheers rick
ps, just looked back through some of your earlier posts and photos,i cant see a dampner knob evident.
i believe this was omitted for one year ,so you will have to wait for confirmation

Thanks Rik, I also don't have a hole in my steering headset cap that I've seen other M20's using, so I think my bike must of been of that year they removed the steering dampner knob?
I guess that explains why I also have the lug but nothing was ever attached as it was the same as the forks that just used generic parts but revised the design around what was already there.
