Cam followers ground (because I was fitting a new camshaft),

Hi, I want to get another dogleg lever if anyone knows where from please?

 I believe this 1 was supplied by M Hemmings on my Norvil replica.

A big 'THANK YOU' to everyone who came along to our open day today and made it such a success.

 The weather was just right and to see around 60 Nortons in the car park was amazing.

I have just rebuilt my Commando which has had a full engine rebuild and an Alton electric starter fitted.

Hi members, I am re-sleeving the barrels on my 650ss due to a small crack in the cylinder skirt and using standard 68mm pistons from Andover.  I have the specs from my Haynes workshop manual regarding piston to bore measurement but am looking for 

What oil do I use for the gear box? Engine oil specs? I have included a small metal piece that I believe fits under the rear mudguard extension. Am I correct?

I recently acquired a 1950 Norton 500T in kit form.

Can anyone help with size of spokes  and wheel offsets  ?

Hi, I'm looking to get new tyres for my 1974, 850 Commando. I've got Campbray alloys and always used Dunlop 19" x 4.10/4.25.

Hi can anyone tell me if you can install the complete atlas 750 engine with head on and gearbox into featherbed frame without taking the head off,thanks  

I have an MSL1 type magneto on my 1936 Norton Model 18. If I install a kill switch or a oil tap with a magneto connection, is the earth terminal on the top right of the casing in the attached picture the one to connect to?

Thanks

Just a general info question really.  I have renewed several looms on Norton, Triumph and BSA rebuilds.

Evening all,

Anyone know how, or if you can re-pin/wire theses Wipac switch bases. Rewiring my ‘66 Jubilee.

Howdy, got some nice nos pistons, obviously left and tight, but no front rear difference? can,t see any.

To anyone considering this there are a few hurdles to overcome.

Jubilee has a shorter stroke so:

Crankshaft has a shorter throw.

Cylinders are shorter.

Thanks to all who contacted me ref Domi 88 advance/retard plea - solved very quickly by keen NOC member, and that engine is almost finished now.

I have a Navigator which, at some point in its past, has been converted to 250cc.

Hi, is anyone using their Commando with a Lithium Battery. Can't make my mind up between AGM or Lithium.

Oil now splashing on my cowboy boots. Takes a lot to open my Norton owner wallet but needs must....

If I line my wheels up by eye the 99 handles beautifully , better than most new bikes. However this leaves my chain run a bit off and tire dangerously close to chainguard mounts , So I allow for this and compromise the handling.

I have this machine mart full bench that is good for raising the bike to a comfy height, but useless for taking a wheel off.

Looking for the thread size of the front wheel spindle, I can read here and there UNF 9/16 18 TPI and UNF 9/16 20 TPI. Which one is the good one on a 1974  Commando?

Looking to replace tires open to suggestions?

After fitting a Tri Spark charging system to my ex Interpol now JPN replica 1972 750 Commando, and seeing the state of the wiring, I decided now's the time to sort it out.

hello,

Dear Members,

I have had a pretty good read of the Dominator Service Notes on the website as described in this month’s Roadholder.

After spending days overhauling my forks I notice that the shrouds are rubbing the sealholders and oil is seeping out of one of the damper bolts .  It all coming off again.
