Re: Norton 16H 1939

Hope to see it for real soon, a real time capsule!

I got an unrestored September '39 16H all matching numbers bike from Belgium some months ago, not had much time to do anything with it, but it did start up, But had some unidentifyable wheels in it, but found some nice ones in the meantime. More about this later I hope.

Bastiaan has yours also a matt chrome carb, with raised lettering for the model number? difficult to see on the pictures.

Cheers,

Lex

Lex,

That is indeed the same carb as on yours!
With raised lettering and painted silverish.

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Norton 16H 1939

Rob, is right as he already visited me and took a very close look at the Norton.

@Ian: thank you for your kind words. The idea is to restore this Norton as how it left the factory. First I have to find the few missing parts.

These are 2x photos with Norton's from the same contract (thanks Rik!):

Those pictures are of the 1st Battalion, Queen Victoria’s Rifles (QVR), a TA regiment affiliated to The King’s Royal Rifle Corps, training as a motor-cycle reconnaissance battalion in the New Forest near Beaulieu. I bought the top picture off ebay :relaxed:
