Twice now, the clutch fixing nut has spun off rendering the clutch useless. The tab washer wing opens up allowing the nut to turn.

Does anyone know where you can get the centre part of a clutch for a 1952 ES2. I am sure it has a more technically correct name than the centre part so have attached a photo.

Hi All,

Hi All

I'm curious as to what luggage, hard or soft, 961 owners use. At present a good rucksack looks like the only option!

Thoughts?

As my body weakens with age I find myself considering fitting one of these kits.

It will be fitted to a chain primary drive, so I am interested to hear how people have got on with the kit.

Please can someone help me start my 1974, 850 Commando?

Hi

Im doing up one of each of the above. Originality is not a `be all and end all` with me, I just want a couple of functional bikes.

I am buying a belt drive conversion for my Dommy, and I have fitted a Commando mainshaft and cluch. Tony Hayward tell me that in addition to the mainshaft circlip, Commandoes have a dished washer, and he doesn't know which way it faces.

Dear Members

I have recently acquired an original mounting bracket for an Altette horn for my 1953 Inter - it looks like a schoolboy catapult - the bracket that is.

Having had a load of issues with my old dynamo and voltage regulator I decided to bite the bullet and go for an Alton alternator.

The installation was very straight forward and I double/triple checked everything before starting her up.

can anyone help me with part number 041305 clutch operating bodypeg, cannot find one anywhere. thanks.

Is it possible to use an old piston ring in a newly-honed cylinder if the ring is sufficiently unworn to be gapped correctly?

So, there I was, poised at the keyboard, about to order the new rims for the '39 ES2 I'm restoring. The bike is currently fitted with 19 inch front and rear. The options from the supplier include a 21 front and 20 rear.

Hi all, I had an oil leak of some very fine clear oil and did not have chance to check where it was coming from until the next day at which point it had stopped so presumably whatever was leaking is out of oil.

I have now received my bare steel fastback tank from india.

As my Norton (1949 Model 18) seems to 'wet sump' very quickly,I just wondered if this is normal? Is this something these bikes are plagued with? Or perhaps,worn oil pump?

Routinely checking the camchain tension on my 650ss, I noticed some endfloat on the camshaft sprocket.

Having used the old recitfier and zeners for years, I decided to get the above and fit it. It was easy enough to fit under the seat being smaller than the podtronics unit.

I am told that the waiting list for a 'New' 750/850 Commando made to your spec is now 18 months to 2 years. To be honest i was for a while very keen in owning one although Champange desires and lemonade money i believe is the term.

Hello Nortoneers,

I've had my Dommie, originally an 88, now with 99 barrel and crank since 1972 and it has always had a tendency to seize the left hand piston, whether with Hepolite or GPM pistons in the 500 barrel or, as it is at the moment, Heplex pistons in the
