I urgently need the kickstart return spring for the laydown gear box for my 1956 Dominator 99. The spring that I received from Andover Norton is incorrect and RGM currently do not have one in stock. 

Has anyone found any front wheel hub chrome trims anywhere? Don’t want to start wheel rebuild until I can find a pair - have got them for rear (NOC shop) but fronts seem to be non-existent

As the kickstart lever on my 1956 Dominator 99 tends to stick at about 15 deg from it's top position, I have removed the outer cover with the intention to replace the kickstart return spring.

on investigation today found this, complete failure of the dynamo!

who would you recommend for a rebuild?, I live near Lancaster! cheers

Can anyone tell me if the center of the distance between the ears for the rear axle/spindle is the centerline of the chassis and therefore the centerline of the rims ?  Thanks for any help on this

I saw some posts, some older, asking about these.  They are available here in Brass.   Other tasty bits too despite the website name.

Can anybody tell me if these are the pistons that everyone warns about the top coming off. 

The gear box number stamped on my 1956 Dominator 99 is GB8 3797 and is I understand of the ' laydown " type with the oval inspection cover. I am just curious as to the suffix GB8. Does it relate to anything in particular ?

I am new to 500t ownership and my bike has an oil leak from the front lower push rod tube seal.  Now on the ES2 I would just remove the rocker box, but I have read somewhere that the engine is such a tight fit in the frame that the only way to do

Can someone please advice on fitting a cartridge oil filter for the engine oil, I think it should go on the return line? also were is the best place for it to be fitted on the frame?

Thanks, Steven

Hi

1952 Dominator 7 Plunger.  I’m rebuilding the gearbox which has GT 100 YAF cast on the outer.  On the parts list I have, it says the mainshaft RH bearing and the layshaft LH bearing are the same - A2/321

Hello, im going to drain and refill all the motor oil for

the first time. my question is this, does the gearbox 

have a seperate drain plug , or does it share the same

I took the Norton out for its first proper ride (well actually only 35 miles) yesterday. It was gorgeous crackling through the lanes with the exhaust note bouncing off the trees.

Just spotted a video on Youtube a Brit in Oregon is about to start restoring a Manxman apparently the fort on off the production line! Anna gets a mention as well which is great. It will be interesting to see how it goes

I met a very nice guy at the Carol Nash show today who knew me from my posts on this Forum. He was displaying a 1955 ES2. Unfortunately I've now forgotten his name. Please put me out of my misery!!

How much offset for the rear wheel rim?

As the kickstart lever on my 1955 Dominator 99 does not fully return to it's top position after cranking the engine , I am suspecting that the return spring is passed it's sell by date. I note that there are two types of spring.

I'm renovating an 850 Commando and am stuck on the gearbox shell. The selectors won't move beyond 3rd gear.

Owning a Dominator 99 first registered in 1960.  It was fitted with a chrome Siamese exhaust.

I have a 1959 Dommi with a Commando clutch fitted and  I am stripping it down prior to engine removal. It seems to be damaged in an odd way and I was wondering whether or not anyone could shed some light on what may have happened ?

Has anyone got any experience of the cNw electric start we see advertised in Roadholder?

Need some closeup photos of the rear wheel spacing and nut fastening to frame . My wheel seems a little off center . Also a photo of the rear brake pedal pivot point . Thanks Guy

What could be wrong to cause the laydown box (mid-fifties) to drop into 2nd gear when stationary on tick-over?

Cheers

I'm servicing the speedo on my 77 mkIII commando on which the mileometer and odometer have never worked. Does anyone know where or if I can source these items complete. The counters are seized on the rails and distorted, maybe sunlight and time.

The clearance between the brakeplate and sprocket/drum was such that the lip of the plate did not enter the annular groove on the edge of the sprocket. The rear sprocket dates back to early 1980s and I assumed it was a poor pattern part.

Has anyone experienced these studs stretching.

Can anybody tell me please what the thread is on the plastic/gauze filter that screws internally into the top of a BAP fuel tap ?
