Hi chaps, the fork drain screws on my 850 Mk.2a are both seized up and so chewed up that I cannot remove them.

I live in south Norfolk. Any recommendations for shot blasting and powder coating my frame and various bits and pieces?

I am trying to get my dad's 1939 Norton Model 50 (that is currently in bits) built but we're missing front and rear mudguards and handlebars. Please can anyone help me find them? Or templates that I can get replicas made from?

Whats the best way of going about removing them from my Mk111 frame. Have tried tentatively to put a hacksawed slot in them with the intention of using a flat screwdriver to 'undo' them.

For anyone who is interested, I have just this minute ordered a black and gold interstate tank from Vintageindia13. The big delivery date is from 10th March to 20th March. I'll keep this post updated as things progress.

Is it possible to get a square type O ring for the valve lifter on a 1954 ES2 ? The groove is quite wide. I have tried 2 o rings side by side but they just break apart and a lot of oil leaks out.

Hi All.

I would like to have my 88 Dominator tank repainted and was wondering if anyone can recommend a company or person that does this. I have had one quote of £500 which seems excessive to me but maybe that is the norm. Any advice welcome.

Having followed another thread on twin leading shoe brakes, a contributor mentioned that his 8" front brake, operated by a 7/8" pivot lever, tends not to release properly for a while after it has been standing.

Has anyone had any ideas how to stop this annoying disc rattle,or replacing with another disc 5bolt hole ,done less than 4000 miles norvil should be ashamed of this very expensive upgrade

Hi, I have a 1943 16H which arrived in boxes! I'm dry building it and can't seem to find the thread that's used in the frame to secure things like the seat, speedo bracket etc. Is the thread standard through the frame irrespective of the size.
