Hi, I am building a Feb 1969 Norton Fastback, 3/4 finished but I have run into trouble fitting the new rear RGM isolastics. I can't work out if the early Commando isolastic bore is smaller than later models or if I am being stupid.

I am about to buy some Whitworth sockets to use on my 19S, no specific job in mind but I want to use them for all foreseeable tasks around the bike.

Has anyone any suggestions why I cannot cure an oil leak from the lower banjo on the rocker feed on a 650SS, I have renewed the cover, renewed the pipe assembly, used the correct sealing washers and still it weeps!
