Trying to get the last of the base gasket off the aluminum cases of my 1971 750. I've done this before but never found a satisfactory way of removing them. I watched a Permatex video online, bought their products and followed their directions.

Hello,

Trying to pull the oil pump out, and heard that two 9/32 x 26 tpi screws would do it.

But is it BNC, BSF, BST, BSP, CEI, UNF ...?

Thanks for your help.

Last year I was Given (freebe!) a handfull of sample bottles of ACF50. I use this on a rag to wipe over rims and silencer after wet rides . Not only has it stopped new rust appearing but appears to attack existing rust pits.

Just a few words of warning to forum members, I have recently had to return (at the sellers expence 4 orders which turned out to be "Not as described or defective" .I look very carefully at parts but am still decieved regularly.

Can anyone advise as to which is the correct 3 position light switch for a 57 dominator 99 (magneto ign) and should the headlight have the "D" type hole or the larger round hole for fitting the correct switch.

Do you know what is the clearance (play) piston - cylinder that it is necessary to put for piston JP made in Australia on one commando ? Thank you

Looking through this months Old Bike Mart, I spotted an advert for Craven which has a pic of a late Navigator/jubilee complete with rack, period top box, front and rear crash bars and bar end mirrors, my âexcitementâ was short lived, their website

Hello,

Recently saw an unknown engine number, even in the records. Engine is a Manx or Inter and have this number G10T 45XXX.

Does somebody knows what the T stands for?

Thanks

I missed out narrowly on buying a Jubilee Deluxe on ebay yesterday. It went for £252. The bike was local to me so it would have been a bargain.

Checking thro likely issues Its possible that a weak pressure release valve spring may be giving the timing side a hard time.

I saw in an earlier post that when using a new solid state rectifier in place of the big square one on anElectra that one connection goes to ground, the opposite corner connection receives current, and the other two corners are for AC.

I try and get to the yearly AGM whenever I can but think that the 2019 location is going to be a few miles too far for me this time.

I'm connecting up a new wiring loom for my Electra and everything seems to match the wiring diagram pretty well. I was just curious though about the "hot" and ground wire colors.

Just been reading that the oil dip stick should be 5" long not as mine which is 3.5" Long

Can somebody explain please.

I have a 57 ES2 withan AMCgearbox S/No N4107, (pre 62 type) and need to replace the kick start stub shaft, my dilemma is that there seems to be several types out there.

I have finished polishing the front hub on my Navigator, the question is is it worth varnishing the polished finish or best to leave it alone?

My 1956 Dominator currently has a wet 6v battery installed. Any recommendations for a sealed battery which I think will be a safer bet in the event of a spill ?

but not by very much!

about 20 thou over the length [steel rule and feeler gauge]

a, Is it still o.k. to refit?

b, If not, can it be straightened?

c, How might this have happened?

cheers

More advice needed! I'm thinking of suggesting a stocking filler of a thread gauge. I have my eye on a couple.

I have run a Boyer ignition system and powerbox on my 2A Commando for the best part of 25 years without fault. I even have a spare set I bought once because I thought I had a problem, but I was mistaken - so it's still on the shelf.
