i need some opinion on soldering cast brass banjo fittings to 3/16 OD copper pipe feeding rockers on 1950 ES 2. Should these be silver soldered (high temp stuff) or will lesser methods be ok?

Hi, I am starting this conversation, and I hope it will be widely used by anyone trying to find correct parts for their Norton Lightweight.

I'm putting my Jubilee engine back together at the moment and have a question about valve timing. The crankshaft half time pinion gear has no obvious timing mark on it.

Can someone give me the exact centerline of the back wheel of a 750 commando from the inside faces of the swingarm viewed from behind thankyou Nick
