It definitely seems there are fewer machinists that do reliable work. And even fewer that have any experience or interest in old motorcycles like our beloved Nortons. And it's getting harder and harder to even identify someone that's competent and trust worthy. After all, these old parts can't really be afforded to get messed up when someone is doing a repair.


Jim Comstock is on this forum, and he did marvelous work on a 650 head that I sent him a while back. He's actually currently working on a set of cylinders for me as we speak. He's got a ton of experience and skill, and he's part of our Norton community. His prices are more than reasonable, and he's easy to deal with. I'd recommend that anyone in need of machine work on a Norton, get in touch with him. These old parts are worth saving, and there's a massive sense of satisfaction seeing them repaired and put back to use as they were intended. I know that half the battle is just finding and identifying someone that you can trust to do that work. And most times it's best to have a recommendation. So, for what it's worth, I'd send Jim and email for anything you have. It's also great to keep work within our community of enthusiasts.
