FOAK :Looking for "old" norton bits. short roadholder forks

A mate of mine [0] races old bikes (sprint, hill climb, etc. and was not bad
at grass track) [1] and is rebuilding a norton (ish, i think).

He has no idea what the internet is and has his grandson (8) trying to look
and find him a set of forks with not much luck.

What he wants is a set of "Norton short roadholders forks" for the bke he is
rebuilding. I have googled and not really found a site or contact that can
get or find a set.[2]

Any help would be great [3}

Cheers,

Its a start, cos I didn't have a clue what he was on about, and had to write
it down. I'll write the phone number down for him.

I did offer to take him out on the gixxer but he wasn't interested. "Not
interested in these new bikes Benny"[1]

4 old racers in it. Nice oldens as well.
