Hi all,
I'll take the second point first: my name is Ted. I've had BSA and Triumph twins and triples but never a Norton. I'm slowly recovering from losing everything in the Eaton fire in Southern California this past January. I'm in a rental house with a garage so can't help but think about finding projects. Still, I'm not psyched about re-buying all my tools. I ended up grabbing most of by burned tools before the lot was cleared but they are probably useless as they've lost their temper. This isn't a plea for free stuff- just sharing. Everything is moving slowly. There is a certain freedom when you're parted ways with everything you own.
The reason I'm here today is I'm working on a friend's (also new to Nortons) '73 850 Commando (5/73 303xxx) with a shredded primary belt. The problem is we can't identify it. It's orange so that might narrow things down-- RGM? I emailed RGM and haven't heard back.
I've read through a couple of threads but haven't found anything definitive. Maybe someone can spot something definitive from my picture? Thank you!
