Help please. I have a friend in Switzerland who races a pre war Inter with good success. He is seeking 2 parts for an Inter fork. I have pictures of both. One is Part No. 9261 from the Parts Lists.

Hi all, Yet another question! in the book of the norton, do I treat everything relating to the 1938/9 16H on my 1937 engine? ie; ignition timing 7/32, and probably a daft question, is the ignition on full advance with the cable tight or loose?

Hi All,

I have what i believe to be an original 1960 ES2 silencer. Its a cigar shape 3" diameter tapered at the exhaust end and rounded at the entry pipe, pretty well concentric.

We are having an informal camping weekend in Applecross, Wester Ross, Scotland over the weekend of July 20th -22nd.

Hopefully see some of you there, no band this year, just a quiet??? Blether

Hello all, my 99 died on me today - just got dropped at home by the AA man.

Hi all,

hoping todispelsomeerroneousinfo &innuendofloating about.

I just read a comment on this site today that read

I don"t seem able to "reply to this message".Sorry. I take your point about the the qualities of modern oils,but would this be extra slippery 10/40?

Does anyone have suggestions for a startring point on jet sizes on Combat Commando with Mk.ll Amals & velocity stacks , 2S cam , reverse cone silencers (!) . Many thanks

Hi, Can someone please tell me which plug to use for a 1936 16H, cheers Tony.

I am looking to have a Norton Single tank (Pre War) modified to the panel type, as I have been unable to find the correct one for my bike.

Congratulations to Norton Motorcycles (UK) Ltd. for winning the 2012 Motul Team Award for Technical Excellence at the 2012 Isle of Man.

I have half a dozen pre-1963 Norton Dominators that came new with all the fasteners satin or show chromed.

I'm completing my restoration and can't seem to get the brake pedal pivot assembly to fit correctly. It seems simple enough but when I've 'TRIED' the long arm of the spring scrapes the tube of the frame.

Back in the day, if you wanted quality exhaust pipes and silencers you sought out Armours. Just recently, having the need for a new set of exhaust pipes for my Dominator, I did just that.

Hi, Does anybody know the carby type and size used for the optional twin carbs that were used on the model 99, and did they opposite bowls. If anybody has a set on their bike I would love to here from you.

Thanks Andy

Hi, Can anybody tell me the procedure for installing a chronometric tacho to a 1959 model 99, I was nearly finished collecting the parts for the bike and my son decides that he would now like a British bike and has claimed the Dommi.

Which way up do the steel-ringed composite head gaskets fit? I believe the compound on the bottom suits steel and the top aluminium. I have two spare gaskets which have been kicking around for a while and look slightly different.

Hi There,

Hi all,

Hi ColinI have recently purchased a norton electra in need of a full restoration, I want to start by doing a loose fit and seeing what bits I need,I have a electra parts manual but this does not show the frame and other tinware.

Hello folks

I am rebuilding 2 wideline dominators - one an 88 & one a 99.

I have taken apart my rear hub and can't seem to get it back together again. It's a half width hub on a plunger garden gate frame. It seemed to turn alright horizontally in a vice and then when it's in the frame it sticks.

Just about had enough of the Queen's Jubilee. Personally I didn't know that she had one maybe because she has never brought it along to a rally.

Hi can anyone help ? I have a 1967 650 ss .The seat needs recovering asi had to weld the seat pan in various places. I have been told the seat should have white piping around it.
