Hello All,

The silencers on my 1959 99 apparently date back to the early eighties and I need to replace them.

Trying to put my Mk3 gearbox together. I cannot fully engage 4th gear in that the camplate falls just short of the plunger, all other gears are fine I have stripped it numerous times but can't see what the problem is, any ideas?

Hi All,

As the Title, has anyone heard of Peter Pack? reputedly a well known Manx engine builder and racer not sure of a date maybe as far back as the 30's?

I would be grateful for any info

thanks regards

Looking for advice on what oils to use in the engine,gearbox and primary on my newly purchased 1946 model 18.Straight 50 (with or without detergent)? This is my first Norton.....

Hello All,

Hi all -- I have a 1975 Mk3 which has been running perfectly until a few days ago when I tried to start it. I'd been away abroad and the bike had been sitting for a month. I drained the sump and returned about a pint of oil to the oil tank.

Can anyone help? I need the dimensions between centres, of crankshaft, gearbox mainshaft (taking into account side to side movement (about 1/2â)) and footrest holes for an inner primary case to suit my 53 Big four rigid teles.

The kiddies, (mere 40 year olds) have been wimpishly complaining about the clutch on the 99 so I have replaced 50 year old cables and springs with super nylon lined and graphite lubed cables,found new easy run route etc,etc.

I see that the club spares has a replica version with a part number appropriate for ES2. Since the Inter equivalent has a different part number, I'm wondering if the differences are easily remedied, eg, relocating tabs or something.

Hi, just finished off a small project to convert the M50 Alloy (59-63) head to ES2 500cc spec.

Some time back I read an article by andy_sochanik re resiting the Engine breather:

Can anyone tell me where I can get my Domi 99 oil pump serviced?

Thanks, Peter.

Next ride out Saturday 17th June â Scarborough.

Silly question no.1; are the small brackets on the sealed beam unit for holding the "W"clips? Silly question no.2; which side of the sealed beam unit do the spring prongs on chrome rim go - in front or behind? George

Looking again at my '57 88 suffering from excessive smoking and severe c/head oil leaks I have found that if I fill the pushrod tunnel with oil it takes forever to drain.

I'm showing the basic idea I've had for this valve. It uses the tunnel that exists to connect the conical seal to the main timing case oil seal that feeds the big ends.

My 1959 Dominator 99 has anon standard chain case, held on using only one of the existing four threaded mounting brackets using a smaller nut and bolt.

First: I have a copper head gasket which I have annealed. Do I install it dry or smear with oil first?

Does anyone know where I can buy a puller to remove the sprocket that drives the distributor on a 1959 Model 50 ? Or, is there another way of breaking it away from the taper ?

The usefulness of the standard clutch locking tool can be extended to enable the primary transmission to be locked for maintenance without having to resort to using the back brake with the bike in gear.

I have owned bikes for the last 40yrs and have been through a number of insurance companies and brokers. Back in the beginning one went to an office in your local town and sat down with a rep and gave all the details and walked out with a policy.

My 16H is fine when I use it every other day, but if it sits for more than 4 or 5 days it has been wet sumping, which is a pain when I am on my way to work.

I am having problems assembling the clutch on my 1959 Model 50. I am using the original plain plates and new friction plates from RGM Norton.

Can someone help with where the spring for the centre stand locates.

Hi

On the toolbox lid on my 1935 Es2 there is a brass dealer plate with the name Burrows Bros.Peterborough.Does anybody know anything about them or by some miracle have a photo of them.I have looked on the net but nothing comes up.Just interested as

Hi everyone, Got my bike mostly sorted now with the help of a number of members here and in Germany. No more clutch slips since ATF changed and clutch cleaned. No leaks, no sumping. New front brake and all, so All good news so far...

I can't praise them enough. The stop light switch failed on my commando. I contacted them and they posted on out that day to my hotel in the IOM. It arrived next day and I fitted it that afternoon.
