Hi guys and girls,

Hello all,

Is the rear wheel bearing lock ring (also speedo gearbox drive) really a left hand thread?

Mine won't come out either way, and I don't want to get too rough with it until I know.

I was rummaging around the Telford autojumble on Saturday and came across a pair of NOS early jubilee forks, the ones with the welded on headlight ears, they were maroon so I guess originally James parts but the same never the less.

Roadholder 374 states that items and proposals for addition to the AGM agenda (to be submitted by 23rd February for guaranteed inclusion at the AGM and 16th February for publication in Roadholder and on the NOC website).

Have read the Top end disaster thread. My -68 650SS camshaft looks good and measures about the same as David mentioned. I've understood that the flat tappets are correct. Tappets a bit worn on the flats.Measured the "ditch" to less than one thou.

In case anyone is interested here's a part I made for my neighbor's XS650. The header pipes exits too close to the chain to use the aftermarket mufflers he has.

Does anyone have any technical details for overhauling a Lucas Altette horn?  There are a couple of screws with lock nuts to set gaps, but I've no idea what these gaps should be.  Parts inside the horn body are riveted in; do these need removing a

Hi all - 

Need some advise on fitting rear Iso spindle - one end has more thread than the other -  1" vs 3/4". Does it matter which side has which thread length ? Thanks in advance   -  Richard 

All,

Is it worth maintaining the balance pipes on my Mk2A resto / project?

Is there any benefit to having the balance pipe, over just two separate pipes?

I have just discovered this song which, although rather insulting to us Norton fans, does include some amazing guitar playing.  Give it a spin, with a pinch of salt.

I seem to recall someone asking here about International spares recently (?)  

Any recommendations for sourcing a neat stainless steel rear luggage rack for a 1955 Dominator 99 ?

Any suggestion for a supplier? Quality and accuracy more important than price or location. Thank you!

On my 1937 16H the RHS fuel tap is 'HexagOn' type but LHS has a flat lever type, which is not properly sealing closed. If I renew it, I might as well copy the original. Were they both HexagOn taps when new or was reserve side different?

Hi 

Can anyone tell me the spec of the screws that go through the timing side, through the triangular plate and into the Dynamo body?  There seem to be 2 screws and the other is maybe a rod with a nut inside the Dynamo? 

Hello,

I have not started my Jubilee for a few weeks and I was aware that the oil tank contents had almost completely drained into the engine.

Hi,

Restoring my '67 650SS and struggling to identify the correct headlamp - I think the bike is currently non-standard (see photo).

I'm restoring a -68 650SS that has been sleeping for some 25 years. I think the  ignition is same as early Commandos placed on the rear of the engine. If I'm forced to replace it with a electronic ignition, what should I use?

Afternoon all, I have a 1959 99 600cc with no modifications to standard.. Due to  period of ill health and other demands the bike has been standing for about 3 months since last used.

Hi All,
