I have made some specialty tools by modifying others. For example, the tool to remove the left hand nut that drives the Speedo gearbox is easily made by welding some key stock onto an old worn out or cheap socket of the right outside diameter. Same technique applies to the clutch actuator in the outer gearbox.Modify gear pullers by grinding the jaws to suit the Norton's need.One of the hardest nuts to remove on a Norton is the lower nut on a K2F magneto. To get a decent turn requires the open end spanner jaws to be ground away. Rather than grind on an expensive Whitworth spanner, I ground a worn out 7/16" open end, and opened up the jaw width by a few thousanths to fit the Whitworth nut.Slick
