Piston circlips
Can anyone please assist? I can't fit my JP piston unless I can source a pair of JP circlips. The picture shows GPM clips...they are only about 1/3 engaged. They seem to be 1.5mm when JP are 1.4mm diameter.

Hi, it's me again. This is what happens when you buy a stripped bike (10 years ago) with an engine which was said to have been overhauled and in good condition. Ha!
It's supposed to be a 1956 600cc 99. Crankcase is stamped 14 73858.
I am currently rebuilding a basket case 16h which was mostly complete. I have re-fitted the primary drive inner case clutch etc, but cannot get the outer cover to go on.
I am rebuilding the front end of my '63 650SS and want to replace the two screws for the headstock cover and bolts for the steering stop plate . I have the originals but they are mild steel and have gone rusty.
Evening folks.
Can any one help me please?. I have searched the Forum but can not find out how to test a Lucas 47132 Rectifier as fitted to my "99 Dommi".

Has anyone ever reconditioned the vinyl face piece of a set of Stadium Goggles?
Does anyone have a pattern for the vinyl?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a featherbed frame (1965 650SS) project that I'm building. At some point someone removed most of the mounting tabs.
Good morning,
I know that they were used under the valve spring cups on the exhaust side but were they also used under the valve spring cubs on the intake valves?
Next run I'll do a plug chop. But I think my Dommie is going on to 50 monograde. I can't afford this.
Hi, after a number of years without a Norton I am looking to get a Commando from the USA, has anyone acquired one from the states? How did it go? Did you use Flashback Enterprises from Michigan?
Any feedback greatly received.

Hello to the UK Norton Owners club.
I come here as the new owner of 126188 Commando 750 Fastback. I believe serial:126125 was the first off-the-production-line bike?
Can I ask, does any other member own a Commando with a serial number around 205000?
I am trying to ascertain whether or not the information on my (replaced) Frame VIN plate is bogus or not.
Regards to all

Two motorcycle related happenings for me last weekend. First I received my new BMCT card and secondly I visited the Brooklands Motorcycle Day. I pay £20 annually for my BMCT membership and it is worth every penny.
