Dominator stand issue

This was covered here recently in another thread - GrandPaul and an Atlas perhaps.
Once the spring is attached to it and it hooks over the crossbar, it has spring pressure/tension to keep it there.

You are having fun with this bike...
 
The brace bar that connects the 2 sides of the stand has been chopped out in your stand !
Those 2 little stubs should connect together.
Or maybe its one stub, can't actually see the close leg even has a stub left.

You are having fun.
Don't you love it when the PO has 'messed' with things....
 
There is a wire hook that grabs the crossbar...the spring eye connects to this hook. The opposite end of the spring has an eye that hooks over a stud just forward of the upper gearbox mounting bolt.
 
Yeah I realise the PO had chopped that bit out..grrrr. You can see an allen bolt screwed in there.

Texas, i assume the hook you refer to is the EBAY one? I presume that somehow the tension of the spring holds the hook in place at all time....dont know why stupid Norton didn't just have a welded eye like the others :cry:

Where to from here then? I have bought the spring....That photo would still come in handy L :wink:

I don't know about hook on Ebay....I can't give you a picture, as I am traveling and will not be home where my hook is until Oct 8. Best I can do now is describe the hook from memory.

It is made from wire about .080 - .090 inch Dia. and is U shaped. The gap between the verticals is about 3/8 inch, and the distance from the open tips to the closed end of the U is about 2 inches. Now, visualize the open tips curled into a half circle of radius slightly larger than the crossbar. This is what hooks the crossbar, and the spring eye is captured by the closed end. On my Atlas, the top end of the spring loops over a stud on the left engine/gearbox plate. Spring tension keeps the assembly together. I suspect (maybe a Dommie guy can set the record straight) that earlier Nortons may have had a tube straddling the right and left plates, and passing thru the top spring eye. This suspicion stems from The Atlas having an unused hole in the right plate exactly opposite the stud in the left plate.

PM me with link to Ebay spring, and I will verify if it seems to be the one.

Slick

UPDATE.....I now see the link to Ebay.....that clip/hook should work.

Welding the missing bar back in would be a good start ?

The legs can bend and break even without that brace bar, so without it may not be good.
And you need it for that spring attachment....
