Hello,

After some help again.

I stored all the smaller nuts and bolts for my 16h safely some thirty years ago.Now I can't find them.

Hello from sunny New Zealand...

Read in theAugust 2002 edition of Classic Motorcycle the following ad.

1947 350 Manx, rebuilt, 7,500 (English drinking coupons) Tel. 01342 315650 West Sussex.

Can anyone advise of where I can get original or replica 1939 Norton Model 50 front and rear mudguards and handlebars?

Managed finally to get all the parts back into the mag only to find that the driving-end cover will not go on properly. It stops with about a 1/16" gap between the cover and the body. It is prevented from moving any closer by the locking nut.

My Dommi 99 which I am slowly building keeps blowing oil and petrol from the rear centre of the cylinder head.

Hi,

I have a recently aquired 1956 manx but can find little in the way of a comprehensive workshop manual, any ideas where I can find a good manual

Although no further details have yet been published, on this site, the Flanders Branch are now accepting entries.

Being new to the NOC, please could someone advise me on the classifieds section?

Hello All,

Does anyone know how to shim the crankshaft to eliminate end float and how to measure it?

Progressing with the 72 Roadster, I have a non return valve fitted by the previous owner.I understand that its to stop wet sumping, but I think I had read previously that that it is not a good idea?

Can a two-wire RM21 alternator be used in a 6v system with a solid state regulator such as the A-Reg Six?

I have been running my mk3 with bellmouths fitted(odd ones so they fit),just fitted a s+b one piece and it run crap,will I need to re jet ? if so any tips on size etc.

Hi all , I have been a member for a few years now but this my first post , I have owned my triton for 18 years now , I bought it as my retirement project & that time has finally come , it was used as a race bike , I've tried to trace the reg n

Pure gold and the reason why I think the NOC is the best one make club going, especialy Mark Woodwards artical on page 17.

Well done Mark, and thanks for editing such a good magazine.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me the correct thread size for the 5/16 front fork studs (4) which retain the front mudguard support bridge. They go into the ally lower fork leg and I guess they are either BSF or BSW.

Thanks

This is the part listed by Andover Norton as

06.1974 FRAME SUPPORT TUBES BRACING PLATE

Attached is a picture of the battery platform that I've just removed from my bike. As can be seen, someone has taken a blunt instrument to the front end in such a way as to lower the height relative to the front mounting ears.

In my youth I occasionally oiled my chain and replaced it when it broke. Live was simple then.

These days my other 50s bikes are shaft-drive so I remain ignorant of proper chain etiquette. My local buddies give me conflicting advice.

I'm in the process of buying a new tent for rallying and general camping. I'm looking at a Coleman Coastline 3 Plus. Has anyone any experience of this tent. Alternatives seem to be the Lichfield Arisaig 3 person and the Vango Beta 350 XL.

A friend has lost the yokes for his 1926 16H. Has anyone got a set.

I see a set on E XXX made in India. Has anyone used such an item from India, any advice on same would be great.

Thanks Robert

I'm needing a complete set of engine/gearbox mounting bolts for my '50 Norton Model 7. My bike was a basket case when I bought. So, I have no mounting bolts/nuts at all. Does anybody sell a complete set for my bike?

Whilst rebuilding my gearbox I noticed that there is only a 1/4" hole between the outer case and the inner chamber to allow oil to level between the two.

Please can anyone help with a problem I am having regarding my Norton 961 Commando. The fuel tank fixings have been replaced once already and the tank seems to be still a bit loose fitting especially on the right side.

Somebody knows the size of the four screws on the chronometric dial?
