Hi everyone I am a fairly new member. I have removed all head bolts except the middle front, I intend replacing the head gasket which has sprung a leak.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a source for these? I have emailed and phoned pretty much anyone who lists Norton parts and drawn a complete blank in the UK.

Hi

Does anyone know what thread the bolts/studs are that fix the rear engine/gearbox plates to the frame on a 1954 Model 7.There are 2 of them.They fix to large threaded lugs .They look to be about 3/8, maybe cycle thread??

I am rebuilding a 1946mod18 and would like to ask if any one out thereknows what type of seals are used at the bottom of the pushrod tubes.

My thanks to the N.O.C, CMCRC, John Morgan, David Larkinand not forgetting Ken for another good day at Cadwell 10-10 2010.

Hi,

I put an ad on the Classified web bit about mudguards for a 1955 Inter.

Very quickly I recieved an e-mail from a supposed Brit from London ( I say supposed as his english was very bad but understandable)

MKIII 850 1977 with RGM mainfold,Amal MK2 and KN filter.

I would like to replace my atlas chain driven primary drive with a belt drive. Is this possible? And if so any sugestions

Hi Chaps - I've posted this under 'Commando' cos I've got on but it applies to all our bikes.

In the site help it is stated that there is a Password option under the Membership section.

Hello, I am hoping someone might have some ideas on howI canstop my 1961 Navigator from leaking oil. The main problems are the oil seals either side of the engine sprocket - the one behind the clutch and the one behind the gearbox.

Please can anyone advise which cams are which by the markings on the end lobe ??

I have two cams to use in an 850.

Just posted my second message since recently joining NOC - imagine how annoyed I am at receiving a totally useless, somewhat belittlingresponse from robert_davis1. Hardly the encouraging response a new member hopes for.....

Hi there, I'm currently in the process of building a '48 ES2 engine andlaydown gearboxinto a '59 twin frame.

Hi everyone.

I require a Timing Cover for a 1953 Model 7 or similar. It needs to be the type that has the "Patent badge" rather than the round Norton badge. Condition of badge is unimportant.

Can anyone give me an idea/ball park figure of shipping an ild Commando to UK from Canada and if so any reliable shipping agents

Thanks

The searchable services directory is an excellent tool but could the (general) location of the vendors be added. This would enable local trades to be supported and items delivered/collected without the need to rely on the postal system.

I'm replacing the swing arm bearings on my 88 and have just got the new silent blocs and spindle through the post: anyone got any comments on why the spindle is such a loose fit?

I'm still getting to know my Commando so forgive the maybe dumb sounding question!When starting, which it will normally on about 3-4 kicks, the bike runs pretty rough for about 5 miles.

Hi everyone,

I'm a new Norton Commando owner in the U.S.and the Riders manual calls for Lockheed Series 329 Brake fluid. I was wondering is it equivilant to DOT3 or 4. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug

I installed my Sparx 3-phase alternator and Sparx ignition, with jumpers from two of the three yellow regulator wires connected separately to the W terminals on the "assimilator," or ignition warning lamp unit.

I am just now getting my 1961 Model 50 back on the road after having been run over on the motorwayby a truck 3 years ago.

Well I go to our House - The East Yorkshire Branch is Website up and running But NO one told me?
