Hi,

Anybody had experience with aluminium alloy barrels fitted to Commando's. I have a set from Steve Maney which after 7,000 miles have distorted by upto .002'' adjacent to the through bolt cap heads, on the inside of the bore.

I would like to know if my norton combat is the first version (1972) or the second (1973) The frame number is 230191. I did not found it in "a guide to the Model No. and Year codes used by Norton". Somebody can you help me? Thanks

I am finishing off a rebuild of a 1959 Manx. The drive blade on my tacho drive gearbox (that mounts on the cambox) is too short to engage with the drive slot. Mine is approx 3/8 inch but it should be approx 1 inch overall.

Hi all - I'm trying to email Mal Childs via the link on the Website (i.e. under 'contact') but the email keeps on being rejected - any ideas ?

Cheers,

Hi All, I am trying to finish my ultimate Commando, But before I finish it off I'm trying to take a last look at any drawings/ pictures etc, of 72 john playerNorton's.

Can anyone who has fitted the brake stiffening kit pluslonger brake operating lever give me any advice and the results before I spend the required £100.

Many thanks.

I have a nice Navigator which I built up from a box of bits. It went together pretty well, and I couldn't see any reason why it had been stripped down.

Isn't it the way that you think you've got the situation under control and a problem appears out of nowhere. The rear brake on my 61' Navigator has started screeching when I press the pedal.

Does any body out there know where I can get a cylinder block rebored and honed to a finished size of less than 0.0002'' ( two tenths of a thou') out of round/ ovality?This is the recommended sizing according to CP pistons, AE technical and others

Hi,

I live in Perth, Western Australia. So may be amongst the most remote members of the club. My bike is a '61 Dominator 99 (and I also have a '73 Bonnie.) There are other Dommies in WA, but they are very few and far between!

Can anyone help with the size of socket that I need for the oil tank, Filter screen nut on a 1975 commando 850?

I have a dilemma with the location of the clutch on the main-shaft of my 1950 ES2.

I am hoping to get some made, they seem in short supply, only worn ones being available.

Anyone have an interest?

Can anyone point me in the right direction to source a set of front and rear mudguards for my Model 18, repro are fine original ... even better.

As autumn has arrived, I retrieved my Barbour jacket from the back of the garage, sprayed the dust off with the garden hose, and hung it in the hall cupboard. I was then informed by SWMBO that it was, dirty, scruffy, smelly and disgusting.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a source for appropriate one piece leathers i.e suitable for a 1950 Norton?

I've looked at new but I don't want to look like a 'keep left' bollard. Know what I mean?

Ad.

Hi All,

I have just changed the valve guides on my 1954 ES2 iron cylinder head. The new valves are not seating perfectly hence the seats need recutting slightly to correct this prior to the usual grinding.

Does anyone know is the saddle in the attached pic "home made" or something companies produce?.

I just got my RH288 November 2n, here in the Great Lakes area of the USA. I really enjoyed the coverage of the empire rally, in particular the photo of the three Amigos on page 22!

I understand from a recent EC meeting that UK rallyist's shipping fees to the INOA rally earlier this year were subsidised by the club.
