Hemmings Isolastic Adjuster

Holmeslice said:

I had this same problem on my own bike years ago. I used some .023" safety-wire, wrapped from the grub screw, twisted, and tied to a point on the bike (battery tray tab), and it stopped the screw from backing out and holds the vernier from rotating. Still there 20 years later.

Does anybody know where you can source the Hemmings style nylon tipped set screws?
Last time I bought them (years ago) it was from Mick.

Kenny,
When you use this method are you still using the rubber boot?
Thanks,

Yes, Mike. I might have cut the boots back as they don’t look stock.

Hi Mike,

I cut back the stock boot to to have access to the adjustor - I played with the clearances for a while and found what I felt was a happy medium of handling and smoothness - and I believe that was about .015".
Attached are snaps I took today. I've been riding it quite a bit lately and was quickly reminded why I love Nortons so much.
