My new Amal concentric carb, bought to replace the TT carb on my 1959 Inter, seems to reach to the underneath of the tank even before I've fitted the cables. Is there such a part as a right-angled adaptor for the throttle and choke cables?

Just as a matter of interest, is there a record of the number of Combat engined Commando's produced?

I've recently been in touch with a very helpful technical guy at Goodyear Tyres, who now own the Avon brand, along with Sumitomo.

looking for Norton Barrels for my 1956 Norton Domminator 88. 
Anyone know where can get it?

Last weekend, a strange noise occurred when I closed the throttle of my Model 50. It was a strange whining/rubbing noise. Like something was spinning on an axle or grinding against something.

I,m fitting liners to a 750 block to get it back to std bore (it had damaged skirts) and as a matter of interest i weighed the new Hepolite branded std size pistons (made by JCC in Taiwan) and compared it to the +.060 thou JP pistons that were fit

Took off the outer cover to get chrome plating striped
