I noticed when I removed my engine that the RHS crankcase at 6 o'clock has been rubbing the RH frame tube. Can anyone advise if all wideline frames were identical (including the Model 50 and Model 7) and whether all engine plates are the same?

Do the roadholder bush kits that are readily available (top and bottom) fit all the roadholders, mine are from a Navigator but they are not listed in the ebay description.

Whilst trawling though ebay I came across an aluminium Fastback oil tank. Whilst it looks like a replica of the original, there are a few things that are just not right with it.

I know this is a long shot but I'm looking for any information on a Navigator which my farther owned as a young man. It would make his year if I could pass on any info to him about this bike which he owned as a young man.

I have a 1957 99 Dominator which I obtained through a barn find. All clues and research would lead me to believe it was painted in the Norton Classic Finish of all black bar the tank.

Many Thanks
