Norton Hub Shell c/w Bearings, Spacers, etc.
A Norton front drum brake hub shell, sold complete with bearings and spacers.
This is a front hub shell for a Norton drum brake front wheel, listed complete with bearings, spacers, and the other small parts that go with it. The figure it comes from is the Front Wheel and Brake (Drum Type) group, so this is the hub body itself, the part that carries the spokes on one side and the brake drum on the other, spinning on the front axle.

Being sold as a shell assembly means you're not just getting the bare casting - the bearings and spacers that come with it save you from having to source those separately. Catalog records place this across 1971 to 1973, but we'd want to confirm exact fitment against your bike before you order, since the record doesn't spell out which specific model it's for.
If you're rebuilding a front end with a drum brake, this is the core piece everything else bolts to or rides on. Worth checking your existing hub for wear or damage before assuming you need a full replacement shell.
