[QUOTE="davidd, post: 35849, member: 1177"] Derek, I do have a racing engine set up with a Norton gearbox. It is fitted with a Newby clutch and belt drive. It also has a longer than standard primary cover and the rear swing arm hole has been relocated. This is not a problem for me as I make my own inner primary plates in addition to the other plates. I use an F106 with the legs cut off. I think this application is so specialized that it may not be of use to you. I would be happy to send photos of them to you. It is not obvious from looking at the racer, but I have moved the G50 plate to the inside of the F106 leg. I have added another plate to the outside of the F106, but it only goes down far enough to hold the footrest plate, it does not attach to the engine. I did this so I could have more clearence not just for the cornering, but before the catch pan was added I needed room for the exhaust. So far, this has worked well, but it makes the parts like the catch pan specific to a bike using these plates. The catch pan is now required in most racing organizations and I have to admit it is nice to have a bike that does not leave oil everywhere, particularly in the van. The engine is so lovely, I did not want to attach a baking pan. I made this one to fit the engine as best I could. It is held on by four fasteners: one allen (which is also part of the GB adjustment system) and three quater turn fasteners. I like making many of these components out of glass fiber because they can be made very light and replaced easily if damaged.
