I dont know what the original owner(s) did in the 10 yrs before I got
it and when it was imported into the US..but they apparently didnt have
a very good source of Whitworth nuts and bolts..because so far..about
1/3 of the hardware Ive removed...is SAE...regular sized nuts and bolts.


Don't worry about having 2 sets of spanners - late model Nortons had
both British and USA standard threads, and toolkit to suit. As long as
there's a nut at the end of a bolt, it usually doesn't matter what
thread standard is.
That's a Matchless (or AJS - same factory) toolbox on the left side.
