Norton Tensioner Slipper
A tensioner slipper for the timing gear area of the engine, listed in catalogs from 1971 to 1973.
This is a tensioner slipper, part number 061094, listed in the engine timing gear section of the parts books covering crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, camshaft and timing gear. Despite the manufacturer tag on this one, a tensioner slipper isn't an electrical piece — it's a mechanical component that rides against a chain to take up slack and keep it running quiet and true inside the timing chest.

The catalog places this specifically in the timing gear area of the engine, so it's doing its work down among the camshaft drive rather than anywhere near the primary or rear chain. Records show it appearing across catalog entries from 1971 to 1973, but we don't have enough detail here to tell you exactly which models or years it was fitted to beyond that window.
If you're chasing this part for a rebuild, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment against your specific engine before you order — the catalog entry on this one is brief.
