NORTON BRAKES
2LS Stiffener Kit - A factory supplied kit to improve the
operation of the Commando 2LS front brake by keeping the entire width of
the brake shoe in better contact with the drum. - #06-3410 - $155.00
2LS Stainless Brake Levers - Stainless Steel copies of the
factory levers. Long lever - MCW080 - $32.60 Short Lever - MCW081
- $26.40
Brake Pads - Please note there are no MK3 "rear& pads so fronts must be
used.
Ferodo Platinum - Our choice. Works as well on carbon
or stainless steel disc. - #C025 - $31.95
AP - These are the
current "Factory" pads. - #06-6005 - $26.95
Ferodo NOS - Older technology but a good, and inexpensive,
choice for the MK3 rear - #C025FF - $13.95
Brake Shoes - New production, high quality Ferodo brake shoes sets with
"bonded" linings.
| Dommie / 650's / Atlas front (06-7715) | - | #N025 | - | $49.95 |
| Commando 2LS front (06-0006) | - | #N026 | - | $47.95 |
| Norton heavy weight twins rear (06-3417) | - | #N027 | - | $47.95 |
Rear Brake Safety Spring - This low cost, easily installed spring keeps your rear brake lever from digging into the ground if the brake cable should brake. While not a common problem, a cable braking when you're entering a left hand corner could have disastrous results. An additional benefit is a much more positive pedal return and deactivation of the brake light switch. - #C029 - $7.75

Andover Norton's Master Cylinder Upgrade Kits This kit fits all pre-Mk3 disc brake models using the original Lucas switchgear and includes a new Grimeca master cylinder, CNC-machined adaptor plate with a mount for the original mirror, stainless steel brake hose, brake light switch and all fittings. Suits Euro and US handlebars. Comes with instructions. Part #13-1600 $365.00 |

As above, but for the Mk3 models with the throttle twist grip part of its different switchgear. A different adaptor plate (anodized black) was required that now offsets the master cylinder towards the fork yoke and provides an improved position for the lever blade. #13-1620 $399.00 Mirror shown for illustration only - not included with either kit. |
Front Master Cylinder - While neither EOM complete new master cylinders nor master cylinder bodies are available at this time, everything needed to rebuild your current master cylinder can be found in our Norton Factory Parts list and even a very worn body can usually be salvaged by our Resleeve Kit shown below.
Master Cylinder Resleeving Kit - One of the reasons for the Commando's poor front brake operation is the size of the stock master cylinder. Replacing the standard master cylinder with our Grimeca 13MM unit improves braking, but is unacceptable to those trying to maintain a stock appearance to their bike. This kit reduces the bore of the standard unit to 13MM. From the feedback we have received, it works well and greatly improves braking, however as you must now drill and tap the end of the bore to install the new sleeve we strongly suggest professional installation. - #C024 - $74.50
Resleeved Master Cylinder - We offer an exchange service that swaps your serviceable old master cylinder for a Miles rebuilt master cylinder that has been totally refurbished, including powder coating, and converted to 13MM. Turn around time varies but currently runs around 2 weeks. All models - 750, 850 & MK3 are available. $189.00
MK3 Rear Master Cylinder - As with the front master cylinder, complete units nor bodies are available from the official parts supplier (Andover Norton). Their 19-4700 repair kit includes all the internal parts and several parts that are not illustrated are available (See end of the Factory Parts List for prices). We can supply a new Piston Pusher Assembly in stainless steel (pusher, threaded rod, clevis and locknut) and stainless pistons. A standard bore stainless body is available as is a 13MM version. As people often forget to loosen the grub screw when removing the body from the mounting block and ruin its threads, the 13MM version is also available with a new machined (non-stock pattern) mounting block.,

Disc Brake Upgrade Kit - Our newly developed kit uses only the original disc mounting bosses to hold the (4 bolt) adapter plate that correctly locates an aluminum Grimeca 2P brake caliper to work with our 12" floating Disc. By eliminating the traditional fender bracket tab as a third anchor point we have produced an adapter plate that is lighter to reduce unsprung weight. In addition, the tab both offers little if any rigidity to the mount and, as it is not a machined part, its location on each leg varies enough to require custom fitting of the adapter plate to keep it parallel to the disc surface. The kit includes, and was designed to be used with, Ferodo's FRP213P Platinum brake pads, the best pads we have found to date. Because the Grimeca caliper's mounting bosses are sized for 10MM bolts, we have had bushings made to allow use of standard 3/8 UNF bolts. This not only makes it easier to replace the mounting bolts if there is ever a need to do so, but also makes for a more symmetrical appearance as the heads of the 3/8" and 10MM bolts differ greatly in size. A new metal line from the caliper to the brake hose support bracket will be added in the future. Kit Includes: 12" floating Disc, Grimeca 2P Caliper and Bushings, Ferodo Pads, Adapter Plate with Stainless Mounting Bolts/Nuts, and instructions. #C050 - $529.00 (All parts are available separately and stainless disc mounting hex or Allen bolts with washers are available) - AVAILABLE SOON - A SIMILAR KIT USING A BREMBO 4 PISTON CALIPER FOR AROUND $100 MORE.

12" Floating Disc - This replacement for the factory disc is a true floater. The CNC machined aluminum center bolts directly to the Norton hub and is connected to the cast iron disc by polished stainless steel buttons and spring "E" clips. Though 1 1/4" larger in diameter than the original disc it weighs a full pound less. Fitting the disc requires either relocating the stock caliper or adapting a more potent one. In either case, a new lower hydraulic pipe is necessary. In addition, as the new caliper/adapter plate occupies the space normally used by the rear fender brace on pre-MK3 models the brace must be modified, replaced or a different fender used. (Call for details if required) Even with the modifications needed this is one of the best ways to improve your Norton's braking action. - #C006 - $269.00 |
|
Adapter Plates - In addition to the
kit listed above, we also offer traditional 3 point mounting
(5 bolt) adapter plates to allow
the fitting of a Grimeca or Lockheed 2 piston racing calibers
to the Commando fork
for use with either the standard disc or our 12" version.
Depending on the caliper /pad combination selected, it may
be necessary to modify the brake pads when either
caliper is fitted to our 12" disc. An adapter similar to the
one in our C050 kit will soon be available for use with the
standard Commando disc as will be one to mount a Brembo 4 piston
caliper. |

MCB Stainless Steel Disc - For those who would like
to upgrade the appearance front disc without the cost of also
replacing the caliper we offer this drilled stainless 10 3/4"
disk with aluminum center. The disc is just under a pound
lighter than the factory one and eliminates the ugly corrosion
often found with cast iron discs. Works well with out Platinum
brake pads. - #C055 - Temp Sold Out* *Please note - the latest batch has a straight vs. the spiral drilling pattern show. This was done so the disc can be used on either side or on the rear without the need to disassemble the unit to correct the pattern direction. We will post an updated picture ASAP. |
