Great job brother! I'm day dreaming about doing this on Project Stang while I got the motor out. Been wanting an excuse to learn to weld. What kind of welder do you have?

Hey bud what transmission and crossmember did you go with

About to do the same . Tired of dealing with computer's, relays,sensors, &solenoids!!!!!!! Give me a carburetor & distributor anyday !!!!!!

I may have missed it, but what company/brand are the new plastics from?

Hey would you be interested in selling the lower left piece?

I just ordered some rails from scott rod fabs. My new egde is really bad at the shock towers.

What motor mounts did you use and is that a fox body oil pan

What headers did you run

I just bought a 92 that was 302 swapped and it used to be 4wheel but was swapped with some big 5spd. How would I go about making an exhaust for as cheap as possible that doesnt sound like shit?

What radiator did you go with buddy.. I'm in process of same swap

Am going to be use these panels on my new edge here soon can’t wait excited for the clean look

I’m in the middle of my Scott rod panels. How did you get your inner sheet metal to look tight ? I took your idea and made the extra sheet metal pieces but if I try to weld mine on the side I have a huge gap. If I weld it on the outside I have no visual gap. Just the strut tower pieces

From Melbourne Australia what an ungrateful lowlife.......keep up your great work mate 💯🇦🇺💚✌️

At the end of your video you said that the argon was gettin low. Are you using 72/25 or straight argon. With mig welding you need 75/25. When the bottle get low you can experience dirty gas depending on how old the tank is. Have a great day!!!

FYI, more heat on the welding process. 1 amp per thousands of material. You may need a little more than that but get in and out of the welding process. The welds look too cold. Your project is looking great!!!

It’s the Holley Russian nesting doll kit! That’s gonna be fun to play with.

I remember that starring process over 40 years ago on my 750. Now I have the same pleasure with my outboard motor. 😂

Yes…. I’m learning too! Thanks for sharing!

Learning!

I watched your TH-cam channel Very nice videos on your channel, I have watched all your uploaded videos and noticed all the videos are nice. But there is a small problem. Your video uploads have to do some work like (SEO) and help in getting future video views. You are working so hard just to get views, now if the views don't come then your hard work is useless. All video SEO does, you will see that your video views will come. I can help if you want. Thank you, have a nice day

I remember one day in the late 80’s thinking about entering an auto cross with my 5.0 4 speed Pace Car. I went outside and did a look over of my car and discovered the typical floor crack under the drivers seat. I never did any auto cross. My friend Randy welded up the floor. I sold it March 1990.

Good.

Haha same boat!!! Racecar that will be street driven!!

very helpful video

I’ve gotta get their K member

Great video and love the comparison part most don’t do well with showing it

Also, if the kickstart doesn't spring back into place after you take your foot off of it, it's likely that the transmission layshaft bearing (inside the transmission case and deep in the back) is failing. The stock build was a light-weight ball bearing; there are some modern replacements ball bearings or roller bearings that are much more reliable. If you're having trouble with that bearing, the next step is the layshaft coming out of line with the mainshaft; that puts the layshaft through the transmission case and strips the teeth off of gears in the transmission. If in doubt, check it out -- it's very important for that bearing to be OK.

*Exactly* what is the carburetor setup on your Commando? There is something quite wrong but the fix is probably different it it has 2 Amals, 1 Amal, or 1 Japanese carburetor. A properly tuned Commando will start easily and idle smoothly (properly tuned - means it might take some work to get there). There may be some type of coding number (perhaps something like 932/118) stamped into the carburetor body, too; if you can find that, it will help you a lot (of course, if there are two carbs, both will be numbered).

Vaccinated??

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I have a 1974 Norton commando 850 Roadster myself. It’s my winter project:) Quick thought on your process…. I believe using distilled water would have been better to rinse it out. That way it won’t rust again so quickly. Cheers!!! -Nick

Your a GOOSE,,, go back to your day job !

Question, I have a 2002 GT Roush. Need to repair this area. I checked Scott website. Not sure but will this kit fit new edge and fox or fox only?

I agree with guillermo , running lean , check the plugs as soon as you can for colour. fit an airbox or rejet accordingly. Also very surprised that you didn't have the oil filler cap off when you started it up for the first time to check oil returning to the tank ! Oil filter is not standard but a wise non standard addition, Like most early 70s brit stuff theres a lot of cross compatibility ,try comparing it to a mini oil filter you may find its a lot cheaper ! Elec ignition is a good update ,my 71 combat runs well on it and circulated Cadwell Park track here in the UK at a nice 100 on the straight after 600 miles of running in at 4000 rpm after a full rebuild

Can't see you tickling the carb on the Mk 1 Amal ? Pretty essential and more crucial than the choke on a cold start

Nice work. What welder did you use? I'm about to tackle mine.

This is going to be an awesome car. Good stuff!

Can't wait to see it man!

I'm sure you've solved all your problems by now but know this: the enemy of Amal carbs is ethanol gas. If left in the carb for any length of time the gas evaporates internally and plugs the idle circuit passage which is .015" or simply 15 thousands of an inch. The idling circuitry isn't needed once you give the throttle some gas and the throttle needle and jet over ride the idle circuit. Ethanol was not in gas when these carbs were designed and installed in British bikes. The new design of Amal Premiers have a better circuitry thats easier to clean out if plugged. Try Shell Super which should be ethanol free or any other ethanol free gas. Especially since I only see 1 carb that Norton Commando will never be what it wants to be. The dual Amals gives the Commando the acceleration, the torque and the grunt it was designed to be. You'll notice a huge difference. Be careful of all the owners advocating to go to a single Mikuni carb. If you do you'll miss out on that torque, acceleration and grunt. Once you learn how to set up the carbs, time the bike it will be a 1 kick starter and a perfect idler just like mine and many others. Good luck.

Looking Awesome got you with a follow 🚗🦊💪💯🇺🇸👊 im going all maximummotor sports to but i want to keep it as close to stock as possible as far at the off set control arms

Disregard…. Yes I see you are going to square later

Did you square the K-member?

spot weld cutters, yea I struggled with them, but you were on teh money when you said go slow. last time I used them, it worked fantastic on the 20+ welds I had to cut. Try again, and go slower....or just move to a mini belt sander ! those are more fun....but nothing beats a plasma cutter !

Congrats on the landing! Looks very similar to my '90 with all MM suspension instead of IRS. I've been in hover mode for a bit over 3 years now and hope to be back on the ground by '24.

You got lean fuel issues. Either the carb float bowl needs height ajusting so that more fuel enters the carb and or change needle valve position. The Norton came originally with two carbs. You have an aftermarket setup. Amal carbs are notorious for off idle hestitation meaning when You give It a bit of throttle It wants to stall. also install a Air filter. It helps richen the Air fuel mixture a bit to normal. Check valve clearances as well.

Looks great man! That's exactly what we did for my subframe bracket.

Sir I greatly appreciate your details on your build

Doing a great job, saving that car 🚗 makes me happy 😊. Also, I like your dog 🐕, he looks awesome!!!

Look great! Question for ya, where did you go to learn how to fix this? I need to do the same on my 02’ but have zero weld experience. Wanna make sure it’s done the right way.

I also love the English bikes! Norton’s, Triumph’s! Nice one!!
