Thans to the Norton Club Holland for a beautiful rally. Many interesting events, and unusual bikes.  On this subject, I would be interested in learning more about the Klapton! Could we hope for an article in the Roadholder, for instance?

Can anyone tell me what the cable adjuster thread is on '50s Norton main control cables?

great ride out last week, starting and charging well [thanks to Tony Cooper and A.O.] 

But he ride was spoilt by the clutch....worked fine to start with then gradually got more difficult to change gear, finding neutral was horrendous.

Hi all

I have recently obtained a reconditioned magneto for my 1954 Dominator 88

I received my new Electra head gasket today from NOC Spares and was surprised at its thickness and weight.  It is solid copper and weighs nearly four times my old one (210kg vs. 60 kg) and is about four times thicker.

Good afternoon

Does anyone know how to remove the pivot bolt from the rear brake shoes?  I'm told the rear hub is the same as used in Royal Enfields from that era.

A couple of  thoughts,  The plug recommended for the first 88 on the list must be for motors with an iron head, helpful if it said that.

Hi,

I’m going to convert my Domi 99 ignition from magneto powered to electronic. I’m going for one of those ‘baked bean can’ jobs that houses the electronic ignition stator and rotor (replaces the mag).

Is anyone else suddenly finding it impossible to browse to attach a picture? It's only just stopped working from my mobile phone. List of available actions does let me do it. I'll try on computer later.

After reading that only 93 attended the last AGM meeting in Ellesmere I am a little surprised that the old argument of 'having it up country increases the attendance' Is really the case? where is the proof.
