I have just started the restoration af a 1966 Atlas and I'm compiling a list of the parts I need when the autojumbles & shows start again.

Want to replace horrid clear pipes from/to tank with rubber ones. so i am ready what is the bore, eyeballing it through the clear pipe it looks bigger at oil tank end, 

thank you

Hi

First post so please be gentle

I am looking for a folding kickstart for my 57 88 dominator, I have found the following on Classic Bike Shop, NORTON DOMINATOR/ ATLAS AMC KICKSTART CRANK.

I've replaced the drive side seal. I'm thinking of replacing the clutch seal while the inner case is off. Will this seal pull out without removing the small rear plate which appears to be holding it in place?

My bike has a single 376 Monobloc with small plastic bellmouth fitted and no filter. It has the air filter box between battery and oil Tank. I see the club does a D shaped one.

I am a new member/owner. 

Hi All - a question for anyone who has replaced final drive sprockets/chains on a post-64 650SS which has the 3/8" chain. Should the gearbox sprocket be the 19 tooth 3/8" wide version as fitted to the Commando, or the earlier 1/4" wide version.

Hello,

I am trying to source Avon Roadrunner 4.10 x19 tyre, but a lot of stockists just say out of stock. Does anyone know of a stockist with some in or could recommend an alternative

My Dominator 99 requires new small end bushes - too much wear and it rattles like an old tin can.

I would like to not have to remove the engine and then split it.

Does anybody know something about a man called « R Mc Kinley »? 
May be mechanical at the Norton factory?

join you could see à pics of inside my crankcase.

there are 1934 Spécial Racing international crankcase.

I"m in the process of replacing the crankshaft seal. On removing the primary chain adjuster bolts oil pored out of the bolt holes, is this normal.

hello all looking for a garage in the Midlands that sells leaded petrol not keen on putting in additives Thanks Regards Chris

I spoke to "that man" at the NEC shows 2 or 3 times. Seemed to have a genuine affection for the brand; told me his dad used to take him to watch the Rotaries race. We shall see how it all pans out.

Just thought I’d give a ‘shout out’ for a helpful manufacturer/supplier.

Dear All

What make & grade of oil is best for my Commando gearbox?

1973 750cc Commando Interstate 

Thanks Neil 

I'm thinking of 'resting' my Brooklands can on my 1932 rigid Inter and fitting a more social 1932/33 pattern diamond shape with fantail from Armours. I fear it might affect carburation. Perhaps only the main jet?

Hi, the petrol tank of my Norton 18 (1952) is in an disastrous condition and is leaking. It is not an original part. I think its not possible to remove all the paint and filler for chromium plating.

Anyone tried one of these for the primary chain could make sealing of the chaincase less of an issue

Been years since I worked on one- RH thread yes?

thanks

Hi All

Hi all,

During lockdown i found this tool and wondered if anyone could identify it, i seem to remember my dad saying it may be a hair spring valve tool.

I have a 1949 es2 plunger, i have purchased a t shape battery box but it fouls the chain guard, do i have the wrong battery box or is the fixing wrong also i now have the correct horn but cant find the correct bolt to attach it, any advice would b

Way back when, there was a chain cleaner/lube product called Linklyfe (lLinklife?). It was solid, waxy in appearance, came in a flat round tin (blue & yellow?).

Where does one go to obtain a couple of replacement stainless spokes?

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade to Electronic ignition and wondering on owners views on the different options.

I have read Pazon seems to be favoured however I am unsure what benefits it offers over Boyen or others.

Thank you.

Im jmocking up the rear section before the paint work is done.

Having an alton starter with a lithium battery fitted I had the charge checked and found it was 16 volts ,not good for a lithium battery..

Could anyone tell me if a 1960 dominator 88 should have a high or low pressure pipe to feed the rocker shaft 

Thanks
