Reading Tim Stockdale’s article on tank sealing got me thinking about my bikes, although not regarding sealing.

The clutch cable on my early Navigator snapped and I need a new one. The adjuster is down below on the gearbox housing and you need take off the right hand styling panel to get to it.

Please could someone tell me if this mag is off a model 19 and if not what is it off?

On a recently acquired 750 1972 Commando the top Yoke seems to be non standard as the steering lock hole is a smaller diameter (15mm Dia with a narrower section half way down instead of the standard tapered .754" Dia) Has anybody come a cross this

Need  photos of correct front fork lower legs for a 1951 International, how does the  fender attach, there are studs like a commando? The yokes on the bike are original to the bike according to the  records, but maybe the legs have replaced?

Hi All

Hi,

I have been suffering with punctures seemingly caused by sharp rubber flash on the inner side of the tyre bead  Avon SM rear  that wears into the tube. Has anyone seen this  on their bikes?.

Hello

I am looking for a side stand for my 1947 Norton 500T trial bike, would any member out there have one for sale?

Thanks

Taylor Mattersons were in Balham South London, and were well known Norton agents.

Please someone tell me how the timing case gets the lubrication it needs.

Has anyone had any experience with new (Copy) rubber tank knee pads and the fitting of them to your tank.

Hi I have just purchased a 1974 mk2 850 and after finally getting it to fire on both cylinders .

because I’ve got a whole load of them, or more precisely a whole sump full of them.

There seems to be more gap than I remember between the frame and the swing arm. Do they just pull in once I tighten the spindle bolts on each end ?

Thanks

Firstly, I have just aquired a basket case Fastback.  I've rebuilt several Triumph triples and a Mk3 Roadster from the ground up over the years. The fastback I have has matching numbers of 148840.  From looking on the VIN plate it says a July 1971

Just been watching Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars.

Hi all, sorry I've not been on here for ages. Rebuilding a 1939 ES2 plunger, and I seem to have no rear stand bolts. I strongly suspect that a previous owner had used something non-standard as there are none that fit in the pile of bits.

I need to replace the sticking/frayed throttle cable in my 1975 Mk3 Interstate 850. Does anyone know of a supplier of this specific cable?

Ince the original Jubilee crankcase breather is not the best design I made an upgrade to it.

The petrol tap on the light weight has a unique thread into the tank. 3/8. the club sells 22061 (with standard 7/16 to Amal pipe.

On most of our bikes, the sealed beam unit is held in place in the headlamp rim by 3 or 4 wire "W" clips.Rummaging about in the garage today, thought I'd found a packet of these, but then realised although very similar, they were clips for retaing

Has anyone suggestions for how to hold the pushrods up in the cylinder head to enable removal of head from barrel please.

Hi there,

It must not a typical Norton problem, but my indicators work well while the engine is not running.

Does it run, she has permanent orange light in revs up to 3000 rpm.

I bought a Dominator 1955 88 dynamo crankcase to replace the damaged one I was hoping to rebuild.

My 850 Commando came to me as a load of bits with the crankshaft disassembled. All three components check out as correct but which side of the flywheel does each crank go?

I bought a pile,  I just need the parts so the engine would be available.USA

Should the black portion of the barrels be matt or gloss?

Hi all,
