Cheshire bloke said:Beng asked who was the first to put a unit Triumph engine in a Norton frame, I have been following this topic with some interest because I made a unit Triton when I was an apprentice back in 1976, don't know if this counts as the earliest to be made, but I know that every other Triton I saw was pre-unit, the Triton is still around but with a Trident engine in the frame. I'll dig out some photos if I can find them. Webby yours is looking great keep up the good work, you certainly know what you're doing, you'll love it when it's on the road.
