I see Norvil have these - any other sources anyone? It appears they're different from the various flavours of vertical cover boxes.

I am assembling a Lucas E3L dynamo from parts. I have a Lucas manual on them, but it doesn't show how to wire them up at the brush end.

Hello

After ten years I seem to have fallen out with my Commando buff over something seemingly trivial but not.

I see several requests for racks (or advice) have appeared on the board. But has anyone any experience of RGM's offering 050906? I just called and they don't have any photos of it on a bike.

If anybody is interested:

Hello and please forgive me, itâs an engine oil question, I have unused can of Morris 20w/50 golden film oil left over from another project, would this be suitable in a Norton navigator.?

thank you. Kelvin.

Blue color for the Deluxe Jubilee. There is some old info on this site that recommends Chrysler Caribbean blue 80. Is this still the recommendation, has anyone found a better match.

Thanks

John.

Hello,

is the space between the dustcap and the fork slider technically in order? The spindle nut has a torque of 60 ft lb.

many thanks in advance

The plastic oil feed pipe to the cylinder head split last night, so needs replacing. Is it possible to just buy the 5/32" bore plastic pipe and fit it yourself, or is it best to buy the kit from one of the suppliers?

Hello All,

Guys, I have an Es2 with plunger frame fitted with a Non Norton tank, when I took the tank off I was appalled to see that the bracket that holds the rear petrol tank and acts as a pivot for the seat nose has been cut of!!

I've moved this post across from "Singles" as it is more electrical than mechanical.

Looking through past posts there seems to be a variety of opinions on the correct plug gap for a mid fifties ES2 ranging from 15 to 25 thou.

I bought a couple of full width hubs for not very much at Netley, Iâm using the best one for a special Iâm building, the hubs have brake plates but not bearings, spacers or stub axle.

As I've mentioned previously, elsewhere on this forum, my Commando has, unfortunately, taken up smoking. Grey-blue smoke, just from the left cylinder.

I have had the crank pin come loose in the flywheel on my 1930 model 18. Fortunately without any damage, some years ago I managed to buy a NOS crank pin by Alpha marked N3. Would this be a suitable replacement.

you know the eye test at the side of the road , you get stopped and the ask if you can read a number plate at 20mtrs and you looked at it and said yes i can read it , then when asked for the number you turn and say no comment what would happen.

I am now the proud owner of a 1972 commando LR FB in what can only be described as project , but all there ,so I am told.I am looking for recommendations for a company / individual for an engine rebuild.

I use a Norton for holidays but no longer do the long trips. The tool kit and spares is always a bit of a puzzle, Younger members probably just carry a credit card and phone, what do you think you need?.

Hi

I am getting close to buying an exhaust system.

I have an 850 with balance pipe which i do not want to use in, in favour of an unbalanced system.

Dose anyone know if my 1933 600 engine should have a champion 7 spark plug and if I is possible to get a replacement one, and where from, many thanks Jonathan

I have a model 50 engine thats been sat for 30 years. Thought I would remove the head to see what is inside. Rocker cover off, four collar nuts holding head removed but the head will not come off the barrel.

looking at me photos came across this thought i would mention it .

Hi Is there anyone in North London who might have some space to keep my Commando for a short time?

My '68 Atlas is fitted with a 2LS front brake.

Is it possible to time a Jubilee with a strobe (six volt) providing the strobe is connected to a separate 12 volt battery. Will any strobe do the job.

Thanks

John.
