Hi Guys,
I have a 1928 Norton CS1, can someone enlighten me on what type of bearings Norton used for their drive side/timing side bearings? also what type did they use on the camshaft bearings top and bottom? Presently fitted are Skefko RL8 self aligning bearing on the mains, are these original fitment? I have done some research and the Skefko bearing seem to be a good make but made in China. Would a Timken bearing be better??

I have the chance to purchase a brand new complete boxed Bowden sports carb with factory literature and new spares . I think its around 1" bore (not sure) . I'm interested mainly to stop it finishing in a skip with garage contents. I know that Works racers were fitted with Bowdens around 1936 but these would have been larger I think. Any other Norton use of Bowden carb that we know off?.
Hi, I am just enquiring is there anyone making / supplying footboards for a 1923 model 16h.
Thanks ...Matt
I have some Wassel knee grips which I have tried to fit. They don't fit very well and would need glue as well as the 2 screws to make them follow the shape of the tank.Can anyone point me in the direction of a better made knee grip that will fit, or do they all require adhesive.
I suspect my newly rebuilt ES2 has an oil flow problem.
It was rebuilt with an overhauled oil pump, new spring and plunger in the timing cover. It was resleeved and of course new bearings and gaskets throughout.
The crankshaft was not split, big end bearings were fine.
Oil flows back to the oil tank, there is very little wet sumping.
Oil oozes out of the connection to the valve gear at the head, more slowly than I would have expected.
I am rebuilding a pre war 16h on a standard bore and thinking I should hone the bore? Can anybody please suggest a good drill attachment honing tool and what size I would need?
Thanks
Gary
Despite research I can't find details of the carb retaining nuts for a monobloc 376/017.
Mine have gone walk-about. I believe they should be nylon insert tye but don't have details of the size/thread. Help!

I’ve lost patience with the poor starting of the inter and seek to eliminate different elements. I have a 930 concentric but it’s not jetted anything like the TT. Can anyone running this set up give me a starting point on jets? The tt is 109 / 320 with No 7 cutaway.
The 930 max slide is 5 cutaway but that should not affect starts. Replaceable pilot jet also so that’s a newly for me. if I can have a base set up from one of you I can then get running and bedded down.
Many thanks
Jon
I can't seem to find anyone selling handlebars close to the original style ( see photo ) for the 1930-32 Model 18/20..Lots of W type with sharp bends that don't look right.
Any suggestions for suppliers.
Thanks
