850 Mk 1A, Mk 2A, Mk 3 plastic airbox? Wheel hubs?
But did you mean genuine parts not available or just parts not available?

john robert bould said:I called into a Norton supplier for Fork stanchions, The guy behind to counter asked if i wanted Genuine or Pattern..I had to ask to question.."whats the differance? " Responce was he plonked onto the counter two pairs , pointing at one set he said "those are genuine,and the others are pattern"
So again the same question..."whats the differance" the answer was the pair with a Norvil label are made in the English Midlands and the others ....NOT!
So My original posting .Genuine or pattern, Personaly if a replacement part is re-produced to a FIT for purpose standard that will provide safe and lasting service...thats good enough.
"Genuine" to the discription must sway the buyer into thinking he's getting something better, Chinese Indian stanchions s are sold in vast amounts on Ebay for 40-50% less.and will do the job...its how long ? is the question
I know for a fact the cheap imports have only a flash coat of chrome, [microns] where the "genuine" have .001 [one thousand of an inch] !
But Velocette have no chrome on the lower part...so does it matter!

Genuine.
