Desperately wanted: Norton 16H valves and valvesprings

Hi everybody,

A friend of mine is desperately looking for valvesprings and valves for his early Norton 16H. The inlet valvespring was broken and possibly the valve isn't straight anymore. Anybody has any spares he's willing to sell or knows an adress where to buy these parts.

You sure would make the man very happy.

Thanks and regards,

ramon

Ramon, there have been a number of threads on here about my unhappy experiences with 'New Old Stock' (of indeterminate origin !) 16H valves and guides.

I'm now about to try modern, coated G&S Valves supplied by Russell Motors. I should think that they also have springs in stock. If not, any spring maker could copy the originals quite easily.
