Has anyone got a tip for holding the crankcase breather assembly, on the end of the cam shaft, while trying to close the crankcases?

Hi All, I have a ‘49 Inter and do very little work myself, my job is mostly to source parts. My mechanic has asked me to find a battery box & thinks it should be the T shaped Lucas box but most listings state this should be pre-war models.

Has anyone fitted one of these kits. A mate called Brian is removing his magneto (with some difficulty - that bottom mounting bolt!!) and wants to replace it with this kit.

Hi All Again

I have fitted the pistons and a friend just passed a comment - Jubilee Piston  - Is there a Front & Back and a correct way round, or can they be fitted any how?

I wish to replace the coil on my newly rebuilt ES2. The coil that came with the bike is a Bosch TJ12/1, O22,  0222003091   6.

I've recently completed a rebuilt of my lovely old 1951 ES2, Plunger frame.  A rebuilt gearbox and renewed primary drive was part of my project.

An NOC member is looking for +20 Jubilee pistons, unused, with pins & circlips - Can u help?

Drop me an email to Lighttwins@nortonownersclub.org and I'll pass your details on. His name is Dave and he lives in Kent. Cheers

Hello,

On a factory record that I recently received for a '62 ES2, there is a space the sheet for a fork number assigned at the factory. Does anyone know if or where that number is stamped/marked on the forks?

For those who haven't discovered it already - here's a link to Bright Spark Magnetos, who have many very useful Lucas Manuals and lists.  Not just magnetos but many other Lucas Workshop Instructions in their "LIBRARY" tab.  They do numerous servic

I've just dug out my Motor Cycle Mechanics of October 1960 (Bought at a jumble, not my me then! I was only 14 and my favourite bike was the Ariel Leader with full panniers kit in turquoise and grey/cream!)

Hi 

I've got a Mk I 961 Cafe Racer with standard pipes. I would like something that will i) Give me a bit more acceleration and ii) Give a louder engine noise to help drown out the rattling at tick over.
