Is it feasible to use a Combat head on an Atlas engined P11?

Is there a difference between alternator and dynamo primary chain outer covers?

Yes, this is an actual page on the NOC website!

Does any one know the correct bottom bush length on the rear shocks for a 99 wideline frame dominator. I'ven been sold some that are 24 mm that the supplier insists are correct but they don't fit

Greetings Everyone - I used to be in the NOC many years ago, but then let my membership expire when I sold my beloved Commando in the mid-80s.

This may sound like a strange question but where will I find the frame number of my navigator.

I am stripping down the frame for cleaning and painting and have not as yet found it.

I require a right side headlamp lug. Or will be willing to buy a pair.

These are to suit 1947 long roadholders. Any contacts please.

Thanks

Hi, Does anyone recognise the bit in the attachment (I could not work out how to add a photo)? It came off my 1959 Model 50 Featherebed, I have a photo of all the bits I took off and it is there but I have no idea where it goes.

This is a photo of 2 hubs I have for my early Atlas project. The right one is mid fifties Dominator and it fits my 7 inch forks. The left one is later Atlas and does not fit.

I was helping a friend with his Commando. I don't know much about Commandos and don't really understand them. They are like the bumblebee to me. This one has a black plastic tube running to the head from the timing cover.

Can anybody advise if the centre stand for a 1930's CS1 is the same as an earlier late twenties CS1 ?

Otherwise would anybody know where I could procure a new or s/h one ?

Thanks

I am looking round for a Model 50 so any advice regarding possible "pit falls" and where I can pick one up for under £4000 would be appreciated. Abike which is sound mechanicaly but possibly needs work on the cosmetics would be considered.

No doubt this has been asked load of times on this site but have just joined the club again after nearly 30 year break having just picked up a really nice Commando mk111.
