Hi all,

I wonder if anyone out there can help me identify a problem which only cropped up last Sunday, 400 miles into running in my newly refurbished ES2 motor.

My Dommie has done about 30,000 miles since it was rebuilt. The chrome wheel rims are shabby (a tom cat peed on them in the shed at least once...) and stainless would (I think) look a lot better and last better also.

On a 1948 ES2 could any give me the correct size for Plunger Springs (top and bottom) and if they have any idear of where they can be obtained many thanks

Just aquired a 1968 Norton Dominator which requires restoration. My initial plan is to get the running gear (engine, gearbox etc) sorted by proffessional restorer.

So, where can I get one ?

Hi All,

I am looking into a friends JPN Commando & trying to get as much info as possible.

I've stripped the clutch on my inter and although I was planning on geting the end plated it looks quite corroded in places so wont come up very well. The sprocket and clutch basket are also quite worn and very rusty.

Good Day

I am restoring a MK3 and have come across a problem with the gearbox.

I have setup the quadrant and camplate and have checked I have all gears inner cover off and on.
