Roger, that’s great news and I will buy one when I purchase all the other parts I will need to rebuild it.

Please note that I have been able to source a rocker box from Dave Owen so big thank you to Dave.

When I spoke to Geoff, the new single spares man, he said that there was a known weakness around the area where the valve lifter fits so if they vibrate loose or someone over tightens to prevent loosening they may create a problem. Maybe, after all these years they have started fail?

I saw a photo ...

Dave, thanks for pics, I will send email during today.

I’m fairly sure the DU frame prefix was used for the NH 350 as well as I owned exactly the same machine for some years.

You may be correct Vincent but I understood the same follower was used in all singles irrespective of cams until they swapped over for 1951?

Let’s see if there are any other thoughts.

When I rebuilt my 1950 NH I fitted a well used twin lobe cam as that was all I had at the time. The bike runs quite well but the cam gear sounds noisy compared with a later single cam bike. I was thinking about using the later design in better condition to quieten the mechanical noise and from ...
