Hello everyone. I'm new to all this Norton stuff! I bought my dream bike, a fast back last year and I have just joined the club.

Before I get stuck into making a new set of spindles for my forks, does anybody know if anyone is selling them? If the are available it may save me a lot of time!

I've done a quick google search but nothing has come up yet.

Hi Guys - '55 ES2. Whilst removing the cylinder 2 of the studs screwed out. Managed to sort that but as I have to screw them back in with the lock-nut method I'm wary of the fact that I'm screwing into alloy.

The Solent Branch web page is not opening at the moment, I have tried several other Branch web pages and they are opening ok so it doesn't seem to be a problem at my end. Just to advise. Barry.

Hopefully in the correct message category... The Bantam site was very clean and simple. Its basis is also a ten year old product from "Simple : Press" but that product has been kept up to date with current trends and improvements.

Hi Folks

I have been asked to post this by a friend.

I'm trying to get the engine out of my 1959 Model 50. I have all peripheral bits removed. I have also removed the head and barrel to leave me less to lift. I've got the front engine plates off.

I have noticed that the Commando has a cut out in the carburettor spray tube that faces inwards towards the inlet manifold which differs from the 'normal' tube which is the same height all around.

Can any members shed some light on issue I had with my 1975 Mk 3 commando. I bought the bike in 1979 with 2,000 MLS on the clock. On my way to mot last year the engine revs shot up to 4,000 rpm.

Anyone have any photos of a cam box tunnel repair or any recommendations? I had a look at http://www.norton.uk.com/expert.htm , but can't get the video to play.

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips on how to 'loosen off' the exhaust lock rings on my Commando?

Does anybody know the correct rear spindle size for a model 7 rear spindle ,plunger model and is it any different to orther plunger model of that period.

What is the correct overall outside length of a complete rear mud guard/ fender for a 1952 model 7. Need to lengthen a bobbed fender to right length. Seperator measurements for the two pieces would be great.

The threads on the rear chain adjusters on my '55 ES2 are a bit iffy but I can't seem to find a replacement set. I'm thinking of buying a set of taps/dies and re-threading them down a size.

I have just removed the head from my Dommy, for a rather overdue overhaul. The valve guides need replacement (no big deal), but the top of the valve stems are worn, and indented.

My 1974 Norton 850 Commando Roadster has a stock front Dunlap rim. The rear oddly is a Jones rim (same size). The Jones rim is in great condition. However, the front Dunlap rim has damage to the chrome platting.

Stripped the clutch in my 350 yesterday. Really confused indeed. Friction plates with inner tags which I think is normal for late clutches BUT tags approx. 8 mm, which I think is pre -56. Cluth drum also splined for 8mm tags.
