Norton Right Hand Slider (Drum Brake)
Right-hand fork slider for a drum-brake front end, the lower fork leg on the right side of the bike.
This is the right-hand fork slider for a drum-brake front end. It's the lower fork leg on the right side, the piece that holds the fork tube, carries the drum brake plate mounting, and slides on the stanchion as the forks work. The catalog description specifies drum brake, so this is for the earlier cable/mechanical front brake setup, not a disc front end.

The manufacturer field on this one is off — sliders are forged/cast fork parts, not a Lucas electrical component, so don't read anything into that tag. It shows up in the front forks and steering head figures, which lines up with its job holding the bottom of the fork leg together with the steering assembly.
Our catalog record ties this to appearances across 1971 to 1973 but doesn't spell out an exact model. If you're replacing a slider, check it against your own bike before ordering — left and right sliders are different parts and you want the one that matches your drum brake front end specifically.
