So much for the deal with Peter James insurance!

Does anyone have a spare auto advance/retard unit for a Lucas K2F for a Domi 88/1957? 

I've have the frame stripped in preparation for painting and have a question... In the front of the  steering head are two 1/4" BSF screws that don't appear to do anything other than block up the tapped holes.

Hi, aside from the heavy clutch and very vibey engine the only other thing that's really annoying is the back tail light. It's off centre by the proverbial mile.

Dear all,

Having just rebuilt the bottom end and fitted new piston rings i fitted the head and the the valve clearances are huge even with the adjuster screws all the way down so only the square nut is showing above the locknut i have 2 to 3 millimeters of

I have the  D12-790 early model 7/88 cam.

I have a 1974 Commando Mk2a Roadster which has never been registered in the UK. It was imported from Oman some 20 years ago. The bike is from two donor bikes so separate frame and engine numbers.

Hi, are any members riding down to the AGM from the Derby area or anyone passing by on the M1 that I could meet up with for the journey please?

The 1957 99 I am building has been fitted with a modern looking regulator (it's in a nice black box) with a red, a black, a blue and a green wires.

For a 1974 850 Commando, what are the choices we have today for stock size valves?

I have finally fitted the correct plunger type switch and it works, but:

I had a feeling the  autoadvance unit was sticking on the Domminator's magneto. It kicked back a few times if the starting kick was a bit half hearted.

Morning, can anyone tell me what the thread is of the nuts that hold the clocks into the pods, regards Dean.

It looks like I may need to replace the head gasket on my Atlas. Does the head need to come off to remove the pushrods?

Hi, getting back to 19" wheels, I'm wondering if the PO did change the speedometer or not.

What's on the bike now is 15/12 ratio with with BG 5330/171.

Is it OK for a 19" rear wheel?

An impressive line-up of bikes representing 125 Years of Nortons and seven decades of racing bikes but where are any of the featherbed twins that were so obviously the Clubmens' mounts in the sixties and seventies.  Yet again the bikes,  that were

In Bacon's "Norton Twins Restoration" he lists carburettor settings over the years.  They include '650' (i.e.

I have been viewing Mick Hemmings video on engine rebuilds, in particular the section on fitting new bearings. He takes a Superblend in his hand and mentions the numbers on the bearing.

Waay back through the murky mists of time- in fact not long after Al Oz stopped wearing short trousers- the Club used to print (Print!!) a Friendship/ Emergency aid list.

Has any member an original 1953 wideline Dominator to be able to advise the overall handlebar width from tip to tip.

I have checked the DSN's without finding the information

I'm wondering if 29 1/4" is correct.

Thanks 

Hi All, I have a damaged 850 barrel after snapping a rod. My machine shop(T&L Elstow) said they can fit a liner but obviously it won't be supported in that area.

In the numerous boxes of parts that came with the bike I have the above.  I can't see where it fits on pedal, if it does at all?  The parts catalogue doesn't show it which I suppose is a clue but there is a reference (picture) to it on the AN part

Hi all

hope your enjoying your Easter holidays.

I have a 1936 Norton 16 h and was wondering are you fitting speedometers to these or just keeping it original,if you do any recommendations  please.

thank all

Hello all, following-on from John Ward's forum thread regarding colours and paints for Norton machines, I am trying to update and recompile the colour chart/lists etc. for as many Norton machines as possible.

My 1947 Manx 350 engine is supposed to run a BTH KD1 Mag, but is fitted with a Lucas Magdyno. Obviously, in my quest to retore this machine to some semblance of originality I am looking for a KD1 Magneto to replace it.

My 650SS project came with a matching numbers crankcase and a complete 'donor' engine. I was told that the engine had been "tuned for racing" and having taken it apart, it's certainly had some modification made to it.
