Re: Norton Big4 Rifle mount by sidecar wheel

I see the new forum picture also has the rifle mount next to the sidecar wheel, perhaps it was more common than we thought?

Henk, any chance you could send me that one as clear as possible please.

Re: Norton Big4 Rifle mount by sidecar wheel

Thanks Henk.

Interestingly if has an extra tall rifle clip on the other side of the sidecar too, maybe there is a matching rifle stock block on both sides?

Yes thanks Henk. Is that headlamp reflector upside down? I notice that both these outfits are early 39/40. Ron

This latest image is from V3565 (in Australian Service but fortunately still carrying its Chilwell-applied number).

The Ministry of Supply ledgers for this contract of 330 machines states :-

"(i) Bren gun fitments and boxes to 100 machines.

(ii) Rifle fitments and boxes to 230 machines.

NB Fitments Supplied on Embodiment Loan"
