G'day All,

hello well as you well know now I have the web-master against me now ,Is there no democratic in this club. I am single handedly trying to stop the rubbish parts from being sold .

After sending the cylinders and heads of our 1959 De-Luxe Jubilee off for Soda Cleaning, Parcel Farce have managed to lose them on return!

Hi All,I need a dynamo type engine in order to register a 1957 Dominator 99, which I bought as a derelict Triton 20 years ago, so I am building up a 1957 99 motor from what bits I have lying about, however I haven't done a dynamo one before

Hi to you all.Saw this short film featuring a Commando, it's worth a look.www.gaskrank.tv/tv/cafe_racer/tunnel-of-love-cafe-racer-supe-5568.htmRegards,Alan

Last winter I splashed out on new carbs for my '58 Model 99 and have since covered 600 miles or so with no problems. Last couple of times when I've started it the revs rise as it warms.

hello in answer to locked out thread! the back plate is the original . but the spider was also out of round at both ends . and the metal is not that hard ether so I am not that impressed with it . I will look for something more original

Hello i have just had a fit of my new front pipes and silencers on my jubilee, i seem to have a problem with a alignment issue on the left hand side pipe, when fitted the front pipe is only about 10mm, has anyone else had this problem with new pip

My 99 is registered as a 1960, it was however Manufactured in 1959 as confirmed by the club historian. I wonder if the DVLC will see it the same way as i do.

After 1970 the Fastback rear mudguard forward mount is a drop down plate from two holes in the crossplate at the back of the spine tube. Both my original (bent) frame and the new one do not have these holes.

Hi

on login any space characters are interpreted as underscore character. this is not the case on the password change page, which made changing my password a bit of a head scratcher for a while

I have a Mk II with a belt drive primary and have found gearbox oil has migrated up the clutch push rod and onto the clutch. So I have bought the RGM clutch nut with an oil seal, their part number 040373M.

Having rebored the cylinder and replaced the big end bearing on my ES2 I have received conflicting advice from friends regarding running in schedules,

Any advice would appreciated,

TIA

Ian

Hello again - Does anyone know if any of the 88SS models had the modified oil flow and return system like the later 650SS models? If so from which engine number was this done ?

Hi,

I have a 1961 Dommie 99 fitted with a twin leading shoe (Commando) front brake. The braking is good but not that great and I am considering fitting a RGM Front brake stiffening kit!

I have been missing the web site for the first part of the week. Thank you Chris Grimmett and whoever else got things up and running again. I did try to email you Chris, but the mail bounced, so I suspect the server was down.

Hello can anyone help with where i can find the chrome ring that is fitted to the jubilee hubs hopefullt nes ones, i think they are called the embellishing ring. I would have my old one chromed but its a hassle as i will have to send it away.

I have recently bought a Norton Dominator 99 as a project. The frame appears to be a genuine wideline rather than a replica however there is no frame number.

I've got a single Mk1 Carb on my 73 750 with a 250 main, 106 Pilot, No 3 slide and needle as low down as it will go(Top Groove) I'm running BP7ES plugs and it's running rich and fouling after 50-60 miles.

Food not fuel is the UK petition, even if you are not concerned about the folk going hungry side, which Iam sure you all are, the flip side is less bio-fuel to ruin our Fibreglass tanks with!

Hi all - great news that the site is back up and running... amazing how much you miss something when it's not there!

We are rebuilding my ES2 engine, and a local well-respected engine guy, whilst checking the bore and piston advised that we should put a couple of o-rings on the valve stems when we reassemble.

Hello what size tyres should be fitted on my jubilee deluxe as standard, I have a 3.25 on the front but it had a 3.50 on the rear. Both are 18".

Cheers kelvin

Hello

Might anyone have the following parts that would work with a 1949 16H.

Require a valve chest cover, part No. C2/70.

Aset of valve spring cups, part No. C2/147 Top (2) and A2/148 Bottom (2).

Many thanks

My tank has returned.. now to paint the side panels.

Hi again,

I have attached a photo that shows the remnants of a "silver" paint on the cases of the International I am restoring.

I have just received a package, of parts for rebuilding my gearbox. I have a query regarding the bronze spacer/thrust washer. The handbook states that this should have oil grooves on the bearing face. The spacer supplied has plain faces.

Has anyone used a valve stem seal that has a spring around the top? Looking on RGM and Norvil sites seem only to stock the normal VITON seals.
