Need hardware for center stand, 1970 Norton Roadster.

I have the center stand. Where can I get the right hardware?
Thanks

There are several things to think about with these old bikes.
1/ All new hardware is probably made to original specs and clearances.
2/ Your g/box to engine frames are worn where the centre stand pivots, so the new parts wont fit snugly.
3/ Your centre stand is probably original, and will fail without modifications.

I have covered this subject in old posts.

I have a lathe, and can make things myself.

Both my 750 and 850 have modified pivots and reinforced stands, and will not wear out or break any time in the next 15 years or more.

I don't have the ability to post pictures of what I have done on this site.

Andover Norton have the bits so from them direct or any stockist in your national location.
By the look of it, its only bolts, nuts, washers and a couple of bushes.

And a spring. I use some iron wire and a handle (screwdriver or whatever) to pull the spring in the stand while mounted with the bike resting on the side stand.
