I hope the forum will forgive me for yet another post ( and this may be a daft question) but does anyone know if you can successfully use Mk3 exhaust pipes on a Mk2a Commando?  The exhaust flanges look to be quite a different design…

Very recently there was a post here asking about replacement clutch spring studs for the early Jubilee clutch.

This clutch can be identified by a small spline and a hardened ring in the back of the clutch centre.

Does anybody know what the difference is between Mk3 and T160 black cap silencers?  Is the cap a larger diameter on the T160, meaning a narrower circumferential clearance with chrome outer tube?

Hello, is there anybody who can recommend a suitable oil for the oil bath chain case of my Norton 18 (1952). Additionally I am looking for the best method to get the primary chain case gasket really tight. Thanks in advance! Hajo
