    fao "tim" frame kits due out by march.

    maybe it varies depending where you are from , but we do not call what we do "brazing" As far as brazing is concerned you heat up an area to be brazed introduce the brazing (brass) rod and it flows , you can push it along with the flame. we do "bronze welding" using sifbronze n.o.1 rods and a...

    COMPETITION TIME

    I have seen similar design on a few dirt/flattrack bikes, the subframe looks like it supports a more upright riding position. Could this be a possibility ? it could well be ;)

    started remaking slim line frames.

    We used to make the slim line Norton frame as it is the best for a triton build. However the slim line has a reputation of "not all are created equal." Put two original slim lines side by side, and start measuring certain parts and the chances are the two will not be exactly the same. This...

    new use for a belt sander

    although we start our manx and norley frames at the headstock, the shape of the tube on both frames makes it easier to then end at the headstock, this always caused probs getting the notching correct on the upper frame tube to headstock. untill someone noticed that the roller on the belt sander...

    you know you've had a crap day

    the guy is 67 years old and i've known him for years. he visits us about once a month just to see what we got in. we are frame and tank makers but usually have about 10 15 bikes in at anytime for repair, mostly 50's to early 90's. as a lot of shops won't touch them as many are twice the age of...

    fiberglass gas tank ?

    epoxy resin instead of polyester does away with the fuel doing damage, most aluminium tanks are lighter than grp ones hower. also as stated above you can add kevlar to the impact areas on the tank. however if you look at the prices of epoxy resin and kevlar it all starts to get as expensive to...

    triton

    we get asked quite often , "Is a Triton a Triton only when it is in a Norton Manx frame or any Norton frame" A triton is a triumph engine in any norton frame. The manx frame is lighter than the old featherbeds so there is a slight performance gain. Many prefer the Norton slime line frame...
