Hi, can anyone tell me where to locate the centre stand spring on a mark one stand please?

Must be obvious but I'm having a senior moment. 

Thanks Keith

Is there a seal between the magneto and the timing chain housing? 

Yet another query from the worlds slowest Triton build.

Hello To all On the NOC Board  Now can you tell me if you are going to Included Online Technical data  of the   Nortons Manxman 650 and 650 standard and Delux models As well as the Norton Model 77 ridged from1950/51 500cc export models that has be

hi , i have an atlas motor fitted to an ajs , coming round to refitting the chain case (after an engine rebuild ) the position of the alternator in relation to the rotor is puzzling me , it only sits halfway into the alternator ?

Would a cylinder head gasket for a 1959 to 1966 Jubilee work on an Electra?

(sorry about the earlier typo)

I am currently rebuilding a late 1966 Atlas, the clutch lever takes considerable amount of pressure to use, considerably more than my other bikes which include a 1967 650SS, 1957 ES2 [both of which have a similar clutch] or my 1969 Fastback.

hi is anyone selling a barrel for a 58 domi 600

I have to undertake some repairs to the bottom of a 1927 Model 18 petrol tank.  This is to repair about 40 pinholes and some larger holes, some near the existing soldered joints. 

Hi,

Could someone send me a pic showing the location of the flasher unit and condenser (under the seat) on a Mk1 850 Commando?

I have looked at the manual etc, but there is not specific.

Thanks,

A 1959 Model 50. Just testing the picture posting function.

Thread size in head for head steady stud, 650SS, Atlas?

Hi all.

I'm planning to take the ES2 to the Carole Nash Bristol Classic Bike Show on 1/2 Feb if we are not snowbound this year.  It will be on the Bridport Bike Club stand which is usually in the marquee section between buildings.

Hi all, daft question I’m sure but what should the oil ring gap be? It’s on standard bore, just been honed and is well within tolerances. 
 

I can’t find what the gap should be in the manuals or on the internet.

Good morning, I am rebuilding a 1958, 99. The bike was bought as a barn find which had alloy mudguards. I want to return it to standard.

I am slowly working through some issues with the Electra a bought around a year ago and have moved on to looking at why it smokes quite badly when running.

Hi. I am Completely overhauling a 16h. And I am having trouble with purchasing the top and bottom cup & cone bearings for the head stock. I’ve seen some on an ebay site, but they say that they come from India.

Has anyone had experience of the Electrex CDI and alternator?

Thanks to Philip Ham for sending me the item, the official Norton Maintenance Manual for late 1920s-Early '30s models is now available to view on the website. It's in the Technical/Singles section.

Looking for that elusive shade.

Trawled forum but no info about what the 750 colur chart calls signal orange.

RAL colour of the same name  is 2010 but is that the same colour?

During an earlier discussion on the problems oil getting from the gearbox into the primary chain case someone (forgotten who) stated that he used EP90 oil in his gearbox. So, what should I do ?

Is it possible to buy a Peter Williams replica helmet nowadays? I've had a bit of a look without success.

Ta.

Bike is 1959 Dommi '99'

Just been scanning the News topics and noticed the New Online Technical Books. Wow! This is brilliant, particularly the Electrics book. I have some of the articles, but having them all condensed into one publication with an index is fantastic.

Working on an Electra that was pulled apart by a Norton dealer in Kansas many years ago so things could be a bit mixed up. With the engine mainly finished I am now looking at the primary drive.

I’m looking for centre stand bushes p/n 55.0146. Andover don’t have them and neither do RGM or NOC.

anybody know where I will find some?

Steve

Dommi 99 1958 Wideline

Hi.Could anyone recommend someone to rebuild my gearbox please (north England). It's fully working, but I'm in the middle of a full restoration and would like to get the bearings/bushes replaced.

Hi,

 For general member information, three new on-line compendium books are now on this website.

Getting my  engine together from a mix of old, really old, and new parts is an ongoing struggle. The question of the week regards the lipped side plate of the rockers, #40 in the diagram.
