Hello there, I need to rebore my Mk3 to sixty thou and the question has arisen what piston to use.

Hi. After a long (1+ year) layup due to I'll health I've got my 99 back on the road again. The trouble is that the clutch plates don't want to separate when I'm getting ready to start the bike. This is a new problem for me.

Hello

Can anyone let me have the thread spec for the bolts that hold the tank on a 54 ES2 please. I want to buy the correct tap.
Many thanks

Hello all . I'll apologise in advance for being thick . I'm restoring a jubilee and it's my first British bike . I've removed the alternator as it looks a bit dodgy but having tested it ie resistance , continuity shorts etc all seems fine .

Over the last 18 months I've been working on a Navigator I bought off ebay and, without wishing to tempt fate, I think I'm almost there with the big jobs and can now consider it a rolling restoration.

The thread is stripped in one of the holes in the cylinder head that receives these studs. I want to helicoil it. Can anyone advise me of the correct helicoil kit to buy?

What's the procedure for strobe timing with a disc on a '61 99? The procedure in the twin cylinder manual is archaic!

Just about to renew my AA cover ,but shocked at the cost !,   Car ,van, a couple of bikes from the 60's and only UK , no home service needed.   Was with the RAC the previous year but they failed spectacularly to recover me on a bike 5 miles from h

Hello,
currently I am working on my 1965 Jubilee to get it running. The odometer says 1600 miles and I believe that could be correct.  I called her "Tequila Sunrise" because of the faded paint on the tank.

What a superb event this was!

Hello. Advice needed please 

Need a bit of help

Could anybody tell me why my Dominator oil tank has got two breathers, and are they both necessary.

Hi all, Can anyone tell me what the ideal crankshaft end float should be on a Mk3?

These appear to be new additions to Optimate's range. I'd be interested to hear informed views on their usefulness, e.g. from Al Osborn.

Hi. I recently purchased a Navigator and on inspection I've found a few oil leaks (what's the problem, that's normal I hear you say).

Hi. I recently purchased a Navigator and on inspection discovered it was leaking oil badly from the oil return pipe.

Just wanted to share this with my fellow NOCers on the subject of Magnetos or Electronic ignition.

Hi folks

A warning to anyone thinking of buying a new TVS Norton from Norton Solihull

I ordered and paid in full for a Norton Commando 961 SP at the end of July 2024 for delivery on the 29th August, registered 1st of septometer 2024. 

Hi everyone . I've just purchased a jubilee with the intentions to restore it over the winter months . I have no documentation but I do have the number plate which is 824 TTF  .

I have one of the RGM floating 12" discs. It performs very well with a Lockheed calliper but a while ago it started rattling.

Today I bought a pair of roadholder forks on an autojumble, including yokes. The yokes have a width of 7" and the fork measures (from top of nut, to bottom of the lower slider) 31,5".
