I have finally found some time to work on my '72 Combat. I have the engine and gearbox in the frame and thought I would go ahead and install the battery box, horn, and oil tank. Digging through my bins of parts leaves me pretty sure I'm missing some brackets and fasteners. Unfortunately my stash of literature and parts lists is coming up short. I can see what I likely need for the oil tank, but not the rest. I've searched all over Access Norton and some other web pages with no luck.
Does anyone have any pictures or information sources that they might share? Meanwhile, I'll continue the search. Thanks for any time you might put into this, and Happy New Year to everyone!
 
Thanks once again L.A.B. I supplemented this literature with a YouTube video series that a guy with the handle 'Motor Oil and Beer' published. With the battery box in place, the oil tank became obvious, as did the horn. It does seem that I should handle the rear fender as part of this whole chapter.

Yes, the horn bolts are also used to secure the mudguard/fender with the '51' lock nuts.

From experience I recommend locktite on the single bolt holding the horn to its bracket. In defense of Norton Villiers horn location…it is at least out of the way and the Lucas horn is fairly loud as far as motorcycle OEM horns go.
