Does anyone have a 1946 Model 18 clutch case or know where I could get one?

I have just purchased a 1977 Mk3 electric start commando, unrestored and reasonably original.

The rear disc was rubbing against the side of the caliper, exhaust side.

I noticed in my '57 norton parts book, that the model 19s rear fender has a different part number than the '57 model 77 , why is that? The both use the single downtube frame.

Hi has anyone successfully jetted a VM36 carb to a 850 Commando, mine either won't start or fouls plugs too often to be safe.

Hi, I have just purchased a Manx and would like some pointers regarding the frame and its identity, the Machine has come from overseas and I am advised that is has remained unused since the 80's, the original frame number [if it is] has been overs
