Norton Damper Tube Anchor Bolt
Anchor bolt that secures the damper tube inside the front fork leg, cataloged 1971-1973.
This is the anchor bolt that secures the damper tube down inside the front fork leg. The fork's internal damper tube needs to be held stationary at the bottom of the slider while the rest of the fork does its job, and this bolt is what pins it in place. Despite showing up under a Lucas-style part number, the description and figure placement make clear it belongs to the front fork assembly, not the electrics.

The catalog record has this bolt turning up across several different figure groups, including front forks and steering head, fenders and tail section, gas tank fittings, and the toolkit/skid plate listings. That spread suggests it's a small common-hardware item cataloged in more than one section of the parts books rather than a fork-only fastener, so don't be surprised to see it cross-referenced elsewhere.
Our records show this bolt appearing across catalog entries dated 1971 to 1973. We don't have anything more specific pinned down on thread size or length, so if you're ordering to match a particular fork leg, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
