Hey, guys.

As part of the rebuild of the engine on my 1948 Model 16H, I'm planning to make some performance modification and am interested in improving the strength of the crankshaft.

Just going out on limb here. I Recently purchased some upright gearbox components for my 46” about a month ago and sent multiple emails about the shipment of my parts but have not heard anything in response?

I know this question may have been asked before but I cannot seem to find the answer. Does anyone have a picture of the inner primary chain case for a swingarm Model 7 1954 or advice on how I can source the correct one? 

Many thanks  

Good day, guys!

I have a 1949 Model 16H I acquired last October and am spending the winter fettling a few items.

Today I dismantled the front end of my 1959 Jubilee to have a look at the front brake and fork bushings and oil seals.

Since buying my '72 750 Roadster I have always found it very difficult to select first gear with the engine running.  Reading various forum postings I assume the issue is one of clutch drag.  With the engine stopped if I pull in the clutch it take

Thought you'd find this interesting. Here's a few pages from it.

I haven't attended a bike club monthly meeting for about 20 years, but hoping to get over to the W.Sussex section meet this week.

Hello members, Recently I purchased an Atlas flywheel for my 650ss, which has the same stroke. The ss flywheel was missing when I bought the bike (as a basket case) and only had the webs for 650ss.

Took my 1973 750 Commando for the first run in my ownership today. Noticed oil dripping from engine fins when engine running but I can’t see the source.

Although the Andover Norton website is excellent for ease of finding and ordering spares, I'm baffled why there is almost no information or descriptions of the various parts/tools etc.

I have a slimline frame with a DA19 number on the headstock which I am trying to register as a Triton but this number is not recognised. Does anyone recognise this number.

This coming Spring I need to do something about wet sumping on my 99.

Servicing the oil pump and machining two new gears on the feed side to suit is one answer, this worked perfectly on my 88 Dommie racer.

Hi There a mate of mine with a 74 Mk2A has told me of a new starter developed by Pete Lovell Developments. I gather this is a new venture to be sold through Norvil. Both very famous Norton names so it should be interesting.

Good day,

Does anyone know if the longstroke engined petrol tank for the F/bed Manx is the same as the short stroke version? I'm thinking not due to the cylinder height, but maybe?

Cheers.

does anyone have a commando with frame number close to 318055.

i am trying to find any JPN's from this batch.

I am trying to get the back brakes organised. I have enclosed a picture showing the situation. Can anyone send me a picture of what it should be like. It is a mixture of a machine but seems to be more mid 30 16h than anything else.

Hello.  1947 Model 18.  The bike sounded like a steam engine the other day, and I've tracked the noise down to a missing screw on the rocker box.  It's not shown on the drawings in the parts catalogue, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

UPDATE

I have a late 1973 850 in very nice order. I would welcome some advice on the following issues:

Hello every one

my first post and hopefully got the right forum.

I am thinking of buying my first classic and have narrowed it down to a T150 but more likely a Commando from the seventies

I've noticed recently that the website (forum pages anyway) is slow to load and seems to load in sections so that the content seems to jump up and down - to such an extent that sometimes I go to click on a link and it's moved up or down by the tim

Hi members ..

The one fitted to the inside of the timing cover.  Anyone know what pressure it is set to?

I've calaculated it but would like to know what the factory spec was.

Hi i have what i believe is a rigid es2 cradle frame. under the downtube support it is stated as a N4 and on the other side is a 4 digit number in the late 6000"s - 6 9_ _ .  I would anybody have a clearer idea of the year?.

Hi,
Before I get the new Wassel roadster tank painted and fitted, any opinions on whether to get it lined or even plated inside to prevent rust in future?

Thanks

I need a load of spares for my Jubilee, I,ll mention a few and put a picture of my machine on here so if anyone has any they wish to sell please get back to me braddockgary67@gmail.com or 07779705092,

Can anyone please tell me where the WArning Light Assimulator mounting spring attaches to the coil assembly on the early 850 Commando?  Does it go behind one of the coil mounting clamp bolts?  Sorry for the noddy question.

What are the differences between a model 88 crankshaft and a 88SS crankshaft if any?

Hi

I have a 1950 Big 4 with a Swallow Jet 80 sidecar. I am looking for a boot handle for it. Does anyone have on or know where i can get one? Thanks
