Can someone tell me what anti wet sump valve (company and part number if possible) they are using on their Navigator/Electra so I might purchase one.

Thanks.

Hello, can anyone help with this one. Stripping the paint from my 58 Dominator petrol tank I have found tapped holes in the knee area, these must be for knee pads but I was not aware they where fitted to Dominators. Have I got the wrong tank?

Looking through my bits and came across this a Lucas/Britax/Wipac?  A rear light with two bulbs. I wonder if it can be wired to have two, yes dual combined Tail and stop lights?

Site won't let me load a photo!

Any recommendations on uprating fork springs. 

Hi.

Hi all,

My 72 750 has been running beautifully for 5 years with a new Boyer system, new Amal premiers, etc.

Putting the 1956 Dominator 99 away from a run today, I noticed for the first time what looks like casting blow holes on each side of the cylinder head in the root of the fins adjacent to the carburettor inlet tract.

Hi,

Im new to the site and no doubt other owners have experienced the same spares problems with the Donington Nortons but Im in need of a replacement oil filter. I have heard that a Bosch car one fits. Help.

Just a quick message regarding taxing a older bike that has been off road a lot of years ,it had unlicensed vehicle in the taxation section of the current v5c.

Gave the Jubilee a bit of a wash in the sun today, she’s no show pony but shines up well!

Hi all

Hi learned peeps! I have an early Commando inner/outer chaincase cover I think? 

  The Atlas has been in bits for a year  and the 3/4year old Yuasa Acid 12v battery  has not been looked after in the sons garage.

After a short five mile run the plugs were as per the attached photo. The insulator was orange and the ground electrode had a distinct green tinge. Never seen anything like it before. Any ideas what it might mean?

Thanks

I've started work on my 1953 Model 7 and want to remove the dynamo clamp at the front of the engine.  Can anyone explain how to remove the lower pin that the clamp pivots on? 

Okay, Nortoneer's I undid the cylinder head and removed All of the bolts x 5, nuts x 5 and have carefully tapped the Inlet ports and Exhaust ports with a rubber mallet and the head is stuck on there like it is still bolted down!

Roadholder forks - Which are the best internal or external springs for my 1956 Norton Dominator?

Regarding the 1938 Model 18 girder forks. Were these Webb forks or Norton's own make ?

I am rebuilding a 58 Dominator with coil ignition. I am considering converting to electronic, but there are various types, some using original distributor, others not. Any advice/ experience would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance. 

I have one of these which came in a box of bits and want to fit it to my 1952 ES2 (E3H dynamo, negative earth). The cut out/in works fine - checked off the bike with a variable voltage supply.

Hi

Apologies if this is in the wrong section of the Forum - if so please advise of which section would be appropriate .  

I am considering an "electronic ignition", similar to the types I used in the late 1970s on my Bedford CA Dormobile and my Mark 10 Jaguar.

I am currently trying to bring back to life a 1951 Manx and was looking for some advice on the frame. what would be the best way forward to strip and repaint/coat. Manual cleaning, blasting or chemically strip?

can anyone tell me where the frame numbers are located stamped into the frame in relation to the vin plate..thanks
