Shorten (extreme) long roadholders

Today I bought a pair of roadholder forks on an autojumble, including yokes. The yokes have a width of 7" and the fork measures (from top of nut, to bottom of the lower slider) 31,5".

Feather bed wideline frame

I have recently acquired a Norton Model 50 1959 wideline.  On taking the petrol tank of to get access to the carburettor I noticed a crease in the right side top tubing similar to the one on the attached photo.

Rust Removal

Does anyone know of any firms that can safely and effectively remove rust from a petrol tank and re-seal it?

Petrol Tanks

The back seam on my Dominator 99 is weeping. Can you please recommend a firm to repair it, ideally within 100 miles or so of Salisbury where I live so I can take it there. Would just lining it be a possible long term solution?

Oil tank cap thread for 1950's machines

I'm working on the oil tank cap for the early 1950's bikes (ES2 / Model 7) and have found that the brass "nut" that the butterfly bolt screws into is cracked.  I've just tried adding a photo but a warning message has just come up?

Bolt identity

Hi there, having finished the rebuild of my 57 International I find I have a mystery nut and bolt left over.

Model 50 oil pump hard to turn

So, here's an interesting one. It is probably my insecurity, fed by inexperience, but 'when in doubt, don't cross the road' as we say here in the Netherlands. We'll not like that, we do it in Dutch: 'Bij twijfel niet oversteken.'
