Workshop visit…

 
At a friend’s workshop among other interesting things, Norton OHC engines…
 
 
 


Here you have two Arthur Carroll designed “inter” engines. The one on the right is the first one, made in 1930. Only produced for a short while and few of the later parts can be used….

Unfortunately the cylinder head is missing on the early engine…”I think it will be very hard to find one” he told me.

“well” I said…”You just have to look in the right place”….”And where is that” he replied…

As it happens I have one on the shelf….In very good condition….
 
 

The cylinder head have found a new home…
