To absorb British rain forcing you to buy a new switch.Brilliant,
What was Norton thinking sticking it in that plastic prophylactic facing into the weather?
They hate water and originally they had a flap that even with the key in it sort of stopped the water getting into the ignition lock but after time that flap would break off as mind did a few years after buying mine new.Brilliant,

Yes I remember the forward facing " flap " that you raised up and then inserted the little key . Of course the flap would stay a tad raised up as it rested on the key to let in any rain/moisture . Then the flap would break off and fall away from vibrations and the hinge part being plasticy material not intended to act as a hinge . Most Nortons I see lost the flap a long time ago.They hate water and originally they had a flap that even with the key in it sort of stopped the water getting into the ignition lock but after time that flap would break off as mind did a few years after buying mine new.

Manse got the new aftermarket type with the retainer pins . He noticed I had arrived with a missing seat knob. He then said the pins on the new ones are too small to be effective , I didn't inspect fully , but suspect so. There was some engraving on them , not O.E.M.Bummer! It bothers me that these knobs could loosen. There is a small hole right through the plain diameter, to insert a pin to prevent them unscrewing completely I assume. No pin in the knobs on mine.
I’ll add that job to the list methinks.
