I've successfully extracted the timing pinion but can't remove the woodruff key. Any suggestions ?

Ive  tapped with screwdrivers but it seems to be pretty solid.

Thanks

I have a Norton ES2 Bitzer fitted with an International petrol tank (made in India)  I now need some petcocks.  This type of tank takes a very large female coupling, can anyone tell me the size & thread?

Still working on the project that won't die, the 71 Roadster that needs to be sold so I can play with my ES2.

Two questions:

Would anyone know if the wipac alternator used on the lightweights are single or 3 phase?

Cheers

Hello everyone, I'm on the final stages of the restoration of my 1949 ES2 tank and I'm looking for pictures of the top of an original one because I'm not sure about the shape of the pinstriping.

Just like everything else in my project, my gearbox comes from several machines and is the pick of the best parts. Most everything seems there but for a few cork "seals" and a shim or two.

It's too dark and cold in the garage to carry on experimenting.. but last time I used the prewar 16H I found a short circuit in the lighting. Ammeter popped across full! No fuse but no apparent damage in very short time.

I have recently become aware of a novel (to me at least) way to assure that copper head gaskets do

not leak oil. It involves use of a soft .005 copper  wire around the push rod tunnels and the oil return

1.Not being very mechanical could somebody please sort me out on cylinder head nut and bolt size for an 88SS. I want to re-torque the head. The Haynes manual gives:

Greetings from Portland, Oregon!  

I have purchased a 1961 Norton Manxman, which I understand is the first Manxman. It has engine number 18-93601 and Shop number 7.

Hello all, can somebody tell if the NOC shop is operating as normal, I spent two hours yesterday finding and filling my basket with the parts that I need but when I got to paypal  to pay it would not accept my money.

Can any one kindly lend me a timing pinion extracting tool. I believe it's part number is  ET2003

I live in the S Devon area so  if you are in the Plymouth/ Exeter area  I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks

I'm having my wheels rebuilt and the man doing it has asked if there is any rim/hub offset on the Norton.

A number of other makes for which he does this work do have offsets.

I can't find anything in the literature nor the web.

Whats the correct horn for a 12 volt Jubilee, or very nearest. I want it to fit into the Deluxe fork apron.

Thanks

What has happened to this stream? Has it been degraded or closed ?

Hello,

Good evening,

who knows a good source for these pre 1957/1961 Manx parts shown in the attachment:

Esta válvula antirretorno de mi h16, estaba soldada con estaño a la salida del depósito de aceite . ¿Así eran  las originales? ( Debí quitarla por que no sellaba más el paso de aceite) 

I have just been given 12 litres of Yamalube 10-40 fully sinthetic oil. for 4 strokes . What on earth can I do with that  ?. Not really suitable for our old clunkers. Paint it on the fence?.

hi all,

My 31 model 20  gas & oil tank are chromed and ready for paint work.

Does anyone know what the width of the black lining is..3/4" maybe

Thanks

Hi,

Can someone please confirm the thread size on the end of the crank on my '74 Interpol.

I believe from Access Norton forum 5/8'' x 20 TPI BSC ?

Having been given a 'birthday present' of a new front rim, spokes and tyre for my 1946 Navigator by my long suffering and generous wife I realise that my non standard and hideous 3.50 x 18 rear tyre needs replacing - particularly because its moder

When I open the spares list the boxes showing the items disappear of the right hand side of the screen on my mobile (Samsung late model). Not vital but I wonder if it might be changed?

Does anyone know why the plungers on the Inter / Manx models have a slightly different angle to those on the ES2 / Model 7 etc? I see from the parts books that all the actual components are identical (at least have the same part numbers).

Desperately want to start re building my 56 Dommie but I have concerns about gear selection in the laydown box. The selector works smoothly and makes all the right noises but I only seem to have the choice of,in gear or neutral.

I need to dismantle the dry sump pump on my  engine to replace the reciprocating plunger knob (part  number 4224) from the pump hollow sleeve (part no 4222).

I am talking with an outfit which is very  interested in manufacturing authentic Model 7 mudguards.I have no financial interest in this it's just that I would like to have authentic mudguards that are cosmetically correct for my own 1950 Model 7. 

I've discovered that if I pull the clutch lever in about half its travel with the box in neutral, turning the back wheel also tries to  turn the clutch body as if the box was in gear (but slipping if you see what I mean).
