Hi Guys...

...the mystery "rider" on the NOC stand at the Warlingham Classic Car and Bike show last Sunday? 

Does anybody know the address to return incorrectly ordered Parts to?

I recently did an engine swap on one of my bikes, having changed the colour as well a few years ago I thought I would get the V5C  updated.

The DVLA now require supporting evidence for an engine number change, a choice of :-

Hi All,

i am re building a 850 MK2 commando and the gap between the brake drum and shoe plate seem excessive. 

Sorry it's not for a Norton but I thought I might get some help over here.

Hi all,

I need to replace the steering bearings but i can not identify the parts i need by diagram.

Would these be what i need?

Do any of you pre-war NOC membership also own Douglas per-war machines.  A colleague of mine has a 1931 600cc 3-speed model T6 and he has stripped the gears on the kickstart quadrant and the ratchet gear with which it engages.  He is desperate to

hello what does the numbers in the engine mean

I have a post '55 Dominator frame that has the small radius bend around the oil tank and I wish to cut this out and replace it with the radius to replicate the earlier frames.

After reading the minuites of the Meeting 9th July 2023, i concurr with regard to the costs of running a  Van.

Is this movement normal for a 1972 750 Commando?

Just seen this.

Messing about with this carb for 2 years had 3 attempts at re-tuning it. It does start just, but pops,bangs, misses tick over is lumpy and air screw/throttle adjustment does work but below 1000rpm it just fades and stops.

Just fitted 2 new coils to my 850 mk2 and checked with the plugs out and there is no spark.I’m pondering putting the old coils back on and checking again,is there any other things that I could have done to cause this and could check before I swap

I recently acquired a 1957 Model 50. I have a question about the clutch and transmission. As purchased the clutch has a solid pressure plate. Looking at the parts book, it shows an adjustable pressure plate with the center screw adjustment.

Because they seem to crush more than the paper one, with the following results, a slight mark on the pistons. And valve replacement, of course.

For US guys, in MI, who want to know where not to bring their bikes, just give me a call.

Recently there was a colour chart in the roadholder which gave recommendations for re-painting Nortons.

I am hunting for a period correct original Dunlop steel WM-3 40 spoke rear rim for a 1964 era Manx rear hub.  Can anyone suggest where I might find an NOS or good used rim?

Thanks!

The primary chaincase on my '36 Model 18 leaks like a sieve so I've managed thus far by spraying chain lube through the inspection hole and hoping for the best.

Just fitting an Alton starter to my 72 Combat only to discover that the crank has 30 thou end float. I have covered about 15000 miles since buying the bike with no problems.

So, here is my tale of woe. 1947 350 40M engine. As fitted to my 1947 40 Manx.

I'm interested in this bike, is there a fail safe way to tell if this is one of the original 200 built?  I know there are a lot of fakes out there.  You can view it here

Hi all. I tried to obtain an age related registration from the DVLA for a Lightweight Matchless that I built up.

Hi. I'm finding it impossible to find drawings for the wideline frames - So would anyone know for sure the radius of the bend above the oil tank on the pre 1956 frames?

Cheers

Hi all!

Would anyone happen to know the thread size/type for the rocker oil feed banjo bolt? I've managed to strip the thread in one of my Navi heads, so am considering a threaded insert.

Cheers,

Evening,

Should I add the 2 x sealing disks to my inner chaincase?  This is NOT the original inner.  Lets call it the best one of the three I have available way over here in Nova Scotia!
