Greetings and Happy New Year,

I have a 1950 Model 7 and was wondering what other Norton twin motors would interchange with parts? I bought this as a basket case, motor torn apart and I'm not very mechnical. I had a friend look at is and he said its missing quite a few parts.

Hi all,

should we consider removing anna j dixon from the naughty step

How can I get hold of 3 Manx clutch springs, 34mm long, 17mm diameter, ideally the original type with square-section spring steel?

Hello all,

Had some great feedback from the the center stand saga,

I am still in the process of fabricating a stand and have now got to a stage where by I can actually put something in place.

I have got a NOS hepolite piston for my 1951 ES2 and I have a couple of questions, firstly what skirt clearance should I get it rebored with?

I have just aquired a 1959 Dominator 99, frame and engine number P14-79695. previously there has taken place some fairly basic renovation of the tinware. It's currently all grey, however the forks are dark green.

Dear All,

The timing side crankcase half on my 1931 Model 20 Norton has cracked irrepairably. Does anyone out there have, or know who might have, a replacement? Model 18 from the same period will do.

Best wishes,

Albert

Hi, I have a bad leak coming out of the back of the gearbox where the chain sprocket is, I cannot find anything that tells me there should be a seal there.

Can anyone help to rectify this problem.

Cheers Rob

Hello,

This is my first post on the NOC, I've been a member for two years and have perusing this forum in covertly, but now, I can't find the answer. So here goes:-

hi everyone just putting the amals back on with a set of new premier concentrics

Here is Ken McIntosh's take on improving the handling of our plunger frames:

Je suis le propriÃ?taire d'une Norton jubilÃ?e et il me manque des piÃ?ces tel que phare, garde boue avant et la carrosserie car c'est une jubilÃ?e de luxe. Pouvez-vous m'aider Merci d'avance Alain Buchwalder

Following the sale of my Commando - after a bittersweet experience of ownership, I am wondering about the possibility of acquiring an Atlas.

How feasible is it for the home mechanic to maintain one please?

Although I have managed to fit the air box that came (separately) with my MK III Commando, I cannot see how to attach the bottom of it.

I have a friend who is starting on a '57 model 19S project that is missing the toolbox. Am I correct in saying that it is the same toolbox on the 19S, Model 50, & Model 77 for '56 & '57?

Seasons Greetings and a Happy Christmas to all.

Originally posted this request in the 'singles section' but had no response. As the parts are technically "Slimline" cycle parts reposted here.

Out of interest, most period photographs which I have seen of the Commando Production Racer show the front brake caliper as being on the right-hand side, in front of the fork leg, as mine was when I acquired it.

Hi - last time I had the timing cover off my Mk2 commando I put a new cam shaft oil seal in just because it seemed a good thing to do. I wish I hadn't, because now I have an appreciable leak into the points cover.

Hi,

I may be off topic (I hope I am not out of line), but I would like to thank all those that have helped me in the past with my 1954 Big 4. Here in Minnesota Nortons are few and Big 4's are like hens teeth!!!! So THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Hi everyone been a while happy christmas

Hi - has anyone found a way of stopping oil leaking from the front right cylinder head stud. I've owned a couple of Mk2 commandos (850) and have never found a way of fixing this problem.
