Tools You Have Made to Maintain your Norton

not really a tool I have made, but an adaptation of an existing item.

To unscrew the oil seal collar in the top of the fork legs, I bought a 60mm split clamp and then 'shimmed' it down with a strip of aluminium. This made it easy to grip the oil seal collar and unscrew it without damaging the thing. The oil seal collar is 57mm diameter.



I also bought a couple of 35mm i/d split clamps and a small piece of brass shim strip so I could hold the stanchions securely via the split clamps without risking damaging them.
