Could anyone tell me what size the threads are for the primary sprocket puller. I think they are 5/16 BSF , But they only go in about 3 turns, then get really tight.

Thanks John

I have an ES2 fitted with a 389 monoblock, but no air filter.

I have an early Norton OHC International with a 4 speed laydown gearbox Pand I am trying to find some information on the gearbox. I was told the Norton gearbox should have a number beginning with an N.

Hi,

Anybody else see the vintage Norton leather jacket on EBay, I was outbid by £2, but decided that above a certain price, I could live with not having it for pose value!

Hi,

My Dash Board has been strange and I have now no access to Off Topic and News and Views e.t.c, nor have I been notified of any Official censor!

My 99 was rebored and fitted with 650 SS short skirt pistons, 41/2 thou clearance. It is now nicely bedded in and has really good compression and goes very well. It is a little noisy with cold slap just like many other 99's I have heard.

Just one picture of us this year. There were four Nortons entered: two solos and two outfits. Good weather again and around 80miles of mainly green lanes plus 11 observed sections. This is our top event of the year.

Came across an article in an old roadholder about when Chris and Kev Fetlow, hope that's the right spelling Kev went to France and Chris took his rotary and it was the picture of the bike that caught my eye never seen one like it so me being me ph

Dear Members,

Half my information says flat faced inwards,the other says outwards can't both be right ? 1960 600 99 low pressure system.

Dear Enthusiasts, Can anyone out there help with a problem I have with my Dominator 99, 1958?

At the moment, I have no oil at all reaching the valve gear via the pipe from the oil tank banjo to the head.

I am new to the club, and am after some basic advice please, from anyone with the knowledge. My M50 '58' is a joy to ride, but I regularly need to change a sooty plug.

As I install my inner primary case, I notice a 3/16 diameter hole in the underside of the engine, centered directly under the drive side main shaft. The hole runs up to the shaft

Hi,

It would seem according to the Sept Minutes of the EC that "OFF" Topic views must now be related to Motorcycle issues only!

What are people generally using now on Commandos ? I've read various things about the quality of the current Renold items but are they usable or are there easily available better options ?

O.K I have the 'tins' back from paint, I have just dry mounted the tailpiece, the seat doesn't fit it well so will have to sort it out, the tank I have not tried yet but I do not know quite what I need to mount it on the frame, cotton reel support

Sorry to see that the previous conversation on this topic appears to have been deleted.

That the NOC has had to spend funds defending the use of the word 'Commando' in an advertisement is regretable.

hi there new to the forum and new to this site . ok i bought a commando frame and casings matching from the states . it has title papers import paid etc .

In an effort to make life easier I'm planning to fit a valve in the feed line to stop drain down when the Commando is out of use for a few weeks. I know many have done this so I'm looking for a valve that is suitable i.e..

I finally found a fresh set of new plunger caps, supplied by the good folks at BMH Trading.

Nice to have a set that have not been repeatedly bashed with a hammer for the past 66 years.

Hello everyone,

trying to get the commando complete, won't be running though, for display at Ardingly, I retrieved the brand new peashooters one still boxed up nicely one opened at the end, purchased around 16 yrs ago from the loft of the workshop, the boxed on

Please, Can anyone point me in the direction of an ES2 conrod? 7" between centres, likely casting mark E4099. The one in my engine has been "polished" beyond reason.

I've looked everywhere, so feel I have nothing to lose on the forum.

Could someone help please, i have a dynamo that is not working.I have just taken it off to and the number is E3H M-L-C . Is this the correct dynamo for my 1957 model 50? any help or advice appreciated thanks

I recently fitted a pair of StayUp floats with aluminium needles to the MK1 Concentric carburettors on my 850 Commando, but could not achieve acceptable fuel levels in either.
