I am in the process of rebuilding an early 650SS engine and would appreciate some advice on how much metal I can lose from the rocker gear in order to gain a bit more ooomph.

Were the gearbox casings line reamed or machined on assembly to ensure that the mainshaft and layshaft bearings were true.

Hi Has anyone a wiring diagram for a 1962 navigator the one in the manual showes only one coil ? Why.

Help please - the above bolt made a bid for freedom on our last outing on my '56 ES2 - part number B2/643 - I cannot find one anywhere - the correct thread size and length could help so that I could maybe have one made.

I bought a couple of tank water transfers from the club but they just fell apart once they got wet, I could see the cracks in them before I started - at £1.50 I'm not worried about the price but need to source something a bit better, are the stick

My bike was returned to Norton for a clutch problem. I had heard Sean Kynnersley had left, so had been talking to Touche about the problem.

I am trying to locate an 850 Commando reg OHK39M. I am interested to know if the engine mod I carried out many years ago is still in place.It was a great bike then and hopefully still is. A E S.

I'm just completing the rebuild of the top end of my 1960 99 (necessitated by the partial seizure of one piston) and as it is the first time I've ever ventured inside a Dommie engine I followed the excellent Mick Hemmings engine-rebuild video.

I have a 1954 ES2 with an engine number beginning with 00. I can't find any reference to such a number in the tables. I can only imagine this is a replacement crankcase following a rebuild at sometime in the distant past.

Hi All,

On my 1936 norton I have an issue with the hub/break assembly on the front and back. They are similar issues but caused by slightly different things.

I have been a happy owner of a 961 cafe racer for just over two years, last week when starting up my bike, I notice that the fuel line had ruptured (covering my engine in petrol).

Finally got the engine back in the frame, but have some questions!

I have been given a box of Bosch super4 FR78 plugs, They are extended nose resistor plugs with 4 electrodes ,going to give these a try in my coil ign 99.

Dear All,

My front wheel is not central between the fork legs. There is a quite considerable offset to the right and the mudguard mounting is aligned to suit this position.

The latest top tip for Norton owners in the States that have fitted Jim Schmidt's long conrods and short pistons, is carbide impregnating the bore.

An International frame shows up for sale and it just happens to have the same number as my orphan engine stamped on it in addition to the proper place where another number is stamped, both 1948 appropriate.

Hi - According to the manual my Mk 2 Commando should do 71mph at 4000 rpm. It's going fine and as far as I'm aware, is a bog standard setup with a 21T sprocket on the gearbox.

Mike, I recently aquired a 1936 ES2 and am in the early process of the restoration. I am missing a number of parts and am authoring a list of the parts I need to locate. Can I forward this list to you for assistance in finding a source?

Hi back onto paint for my navigator,can anyone tell me the supplier of the polycromatic blue or the equivalent auto paint

The 99 is in good order generally but the big ends were worn when i last worked on it. It runs without any knocks but i don't thrash it.

I intend to strip the 88SS engine this winter. Mostly to find out why compression is low on one side only.But: it has been sleeved and I don't want to re-bore (should sleeves be over bored anyway?).

I shall be setting the ignition timing on my 1957 Domi 99 soon and was wondering if anybodywould recommendusing a different setting to that given in the manual (32deg BTDC).

Thanks as always,

Mike
