My wideline 99 had an original lift-up flap rear mudguard, all the valences rotted/damaged. I fitted a slimline rear whilst I sorted the original. It did'nt take much fitting at all.
I think the number plate bracket was different.

wideline mudguards repairs
hello all well I have made wideline mudguards for a 1954 dominator in the past and they look the part to early wideline mudguard did not have the removable tail peace and they had a shallower valance to later models so you have two types of widel line mudgurads And I can repair any trype of Norton mudguard for Norton members only at the same price has it costs me and no labour costs As I am retiered now just hoping to help a member out yours anna J
Dzus
Early slimlines did not have the dzus fastener. The seat had the usual peg holes in the front and spring clips in the middle. I had a 1960 Dominator 99. On one occasion the bike got airborne leaving a hump bridge. Seat fell off.
Hi Anna, glad to hear you…
Hi Anna, glad to hear you are still active. You may be interested in that i seem to be heading towards helping to build a Blue Manxman. It may even have orriginal exhausts and a NOS perfect red seat!. Any tips on the paint colour?.
The mudguards vary…
The mudguards vary considerably over the life of the wideline and slimlime.
Bear in mind...
The front mudguard will vary depending on the front fork width which of course became wider with the wider forks (with the Atlas) but there is still other variations, all taken care of in the Dominator Service Notes (Pg86). Although nominally they can be 'made to fit'.
I dont think so, but thats only from what ive been told - a parts book would probably tell you
