I looked into this some years ago, for the Nortons, some clips are the same as BSA, but in low volumes it's way too expensive to have them made, was quoted 30 euro's a piece, with a minimum of 50.
Maybe someone else knows a spring manufacturer that is a lot cheaper?
I have a few companies that I work with that are more than capable of making these, but to set the machines it not worth doing less than one thousand. Remember I had a batch of field stand clips made. Once the clips are made the demand will drop to zero.
I have been researching the cable clamps for the WD Norton's as they are not described in any Norton document.
They are different from the ones on BSA in my opinion (based on given pictures in previous post), in contrast to what Lex stated.
On my website I added a pdf file showing form and dimensions as well as positions used on a WD Norton but likely also used on civvy Nortons.

I also explain on what info I base my results.
Anybody with more useful information is requested to react.
I've bought the small tail lamp wire clips that fit on the mudguard #65-9071 from Drags for about a quid each. But I see Mark Cook also has them. They're stainless and I just paint them black. Ron https://pesltd.uk/?product=65-9071
To find in stock, do the required paperwork and walk to the post office costs £1.25 per minute in lost production.
I almost forgot, I will contact His Majesty's Customs and Excise to make sure you are no longer charged VAT as you are special. Expect a visit to check your financial affairs soon.
There are chemical blacking gels and solutions available for stainless and for ferrous, but its difficult to see which one to try when you don't know what you have?
Hi Rob...Not all stainless is non magnetic...There are many grades with varying applications and characteristics..So, if the clips are marketed as stainless I'd go with the blacking compound produced for that material...
I tried blacking stainless with gun barrel black (blue) and it didn't 'take' at all...Ian
