Hi All. Have stripped my end-of-WWII Big Four for sandblasting/spraying etc., but need assistance to check engine as I strip it down. Will need a lot of help generally but want to do as much as possible myself although will need experienced hand.

Hi all, I've just read on the TR3OC website that Percy Tait has died aged 90. A sad loss, but what a life!

Hi, I'm trying to get the electric start working on my 64 Electra. I have a working starter motor, ratchet and cover plate. Does anybody have any of the other parts that they are willing to sell. The sprag clutch is particularly elusive.

I see the crowdfunding effort seems to have been stopped? 

Is it because of the pension fund issue?

There seems to be a lot of bad publicity around undelivered bikes lately

Hi

Does anyone know what year they used the finned rocker covers as in photo

Dear Forum Members,

I wonder if there is a settled view as to the correct location and position of the "Oil bath" transfer on the primary chaincase ?

I am midway into rebuilding the top end of my 1956 Dominator 99 and on checking the push rods I have found that one of the exhaust push rods is badly bent and the other three are scored. They are tubular aluminium with steel ends.

The front centre barrel base stud is stripped in the crankcase on my 73 750 Commando. A previous owner had carried out a repair/disguise. I guess it'll need helicoiled, but I've had no experience of helicoiling.

Hi,

Hello

I would like to ask, does any of you know what this little hole is for .???
 

thank you

regards Lubos

Does anyone have first-hand experience of having the pushrod tunnels either rebored with oversized followers or re-sleeved?  (If that's possible)  If they have then where did you get it done and was it worth it?

A couple of years ago the seat on my 1973 Roadster broke in two. The seat base had rotted most of the way across between the mounting points such that the rear of the seat was only restrained by the foam!

Just joined the club and my first post. I'm about to embark on a rebuild/restoration on a 1952 500T and thought it best to ask a few questions before I get started.

My '74 850 mk2A has leaks I want to fix over the winter,

I have and have read the "850 and 750 Commando Workshop Manual. In section F it deails how to remove the motroe from the frame.

I’m trying to resuscitate a set of late forks, the ones with the square bottom, does anyone know how the springs come out of the slider, I’ve undone everything but no success so far! 

Cheers

MikuniOz eBay c£250, Allen's Performance UK £397 for what is apparently the same thing, a kit of all the necessary parts, both include carriage. How does that work ???? Am I missing something???

Looking for somewhere to do a frame repair job in the Northwest. It's a brazed lug type frame.

Will require old (suspect) repair stripping, and possibly a new front down-tube fitting.

Can anyone please post some pics of the speedo/rev counter brackets for a girder fork Inter?  Mine has a rev counter only, but I'm not happy with it.  There are huge numbers of side-on pictures of all types of Nortons, in books, on the web, and my

Hi there - just fiddling with a 68 fastback, it has the brass rev counter drive on the timing case.

I have a 1957 Model 88 Dominator. I need a replacement frame for it. I can purchase a 1957 Model 99 frame. Are the Model88 and Model 99 frames interchangeable.

Hi all, I've read at this place some years? ago how to repair the footrest serration on the left hand plate on pre feartherbed.
