NATURE OF RELEASE: Introduction of disc-brake conversison kit.
MODELS AFFECTED: All Commando Years and Models.
DISTRIBUTION: Worldwide (Trade only).
EXPLANATION: We have received a considerable number of enquiries for the parts necessary to incorporate the new Norton-Lockheed hydraulically operated disc brake on a Commando previously equipped with the cable operated drum brake. In view of this interest, we have introduced a disc brake conversion kit under part number 063412 which incorporates all the parts needed for this conversion. The kit is offered at a very attractive price and the following list shows the parts incorporated in the kit which is in the form of a cartoned semi-display pack:
