Can anyone explain how an auto advance unit works. I'm unsure that my works after I removed it (I had to use a certain amount of violence). And where can you get a new one? My bike is a Norton Atlas -64.

I have often wondered if there should be a rubber backing to the slimline tank flashes, though there is nothing in the various parts manuals to suggest that there was a separate part.

Anyone any idea where part number 06.5050 â clip - rocker oil pipe is supposed to be fitted? Apparently I bought one from Mick Hemmings in 1999, but it's not on the bike, I can't find it loose, and I don't even remember it!

Hello.

Hi Guys

Just out of interest, is anyone in the UK doing anything like this?

I'm trying to piece together the specifications of the ES2 I just bought and I'm wondering what the front brake is. Obviously not Norton but I haven't found any markings on it. Something Italian maybe?

Last week I received a phone call from a friend of ours who weâve known for years. To cut a long story short, heâs in his 70âs and has finally accepted that he will never finish his Norton that has been in bits for 30+ years.

I couldn't find a sump plug in my parts book and the condition of my current one is so poor that can't get a thread reading on it.

Anyone know what the correct size is and/or where I can get the correct part?

on my wideline frame i am putting together i notice on the rear engine plates there are holes inline with the Centre stand mounting bolts. should a bolt run through the Centre of the stand bolts to secure the engine plates at that point.

Does anybody know if the 500SS head is the same as the 600SS and 650SS heads. As the 500 is 66 bore is the combustion chamber smaller as the 600 and 650 is 68mm bore.

Hello, just rebuilding my Mk3 and am fitting a new speedo drive and cable. As it runs so close to rear chain, does it route through the silencer bracket (at an angle) or go straight to the bottom frame tube? Does anyone have picture? Cheers.

Has anyone got a pic of the right hand switch 'cluster' with the top section stripped down (Head/ Pilot). I think I am missing a part. I did take pics on the strip down but not with the screwed plate off.

Touch wood, the only thing on my to-do list now is to replace the rotted boot around the end of the piston in the master cylinder for the front brake. It protects the cylinder from the elements, but it's an open door to them at present.

Hi,

Is it just me, or have others found that their August Roadholder has missing and duplicated content? Pages 17-32 are missing in my copy and Pages 9-16 and 33-40 are repeated.
