Hi Lab and Bernhard
Yep agree on the batteries no argument there but did Roy Bacon get it wrong on the year when Norton 650ss went to 12Volts ie 1964?
I just cannot get my head around all the electrics, (extra lights, radio etc), on the 1963 delivered Qld police bikes with 6 volts. Either that or the Qld police bikes were 12 volts with 2 x 6V batteries in series. From the information I have it looks as though they were ordered in 1962, the catalogue that came from the police museum is dated 1962, someone had marked the bikes they were looking at, 650 standard for sidecar use and the 650SS for solo use.

Hi GP thanks for comment, slow but getting there,
Mounted the mudguard and sorted the blinkers out. Made the stalks out of 1/2" 304 SS threaded 7/16" to take the blinkers original nut and washer and stepped down to 5/16" BSF into the mudguard, used the smallest size hole that I could get the wire through to retain some strength.
