Hi ALL

hey anyone have the modified procedure that has been floated here a few times (by LAB?) for replacing the iso's (i have the new versions and want to pull the old ones out) - i see the old link to it (http://accessnorton.com/norton_commando1847.html) doesn't work w/ new forum update

thanks
Mike

This may be a dumb question but does this procedure work on MKIII's also?

I replaced mine with out removing the engine or primary cover, I found this thread helpful

rear-isolastics-t16887.html

I used a new veneer adjustable ISO that does not require any modification.

Also available from Old Britts

The rubber is a little harder and getting it started was a pain. I think Old Britts sells a funnel tool that makes it easier. It was easier to install the rear ISO than the front.

I would like to read the above links in this post but each one comes up as "error". Is there any way to retrieve them?
I'm planning an iso replacement and looking for tips or tricks. Work manual says remove engine for rear replacement.

from the link

Note: this operation will NOT work for the MK III or Norvil type Isolastic setup. These types use a single, long spacer tube with the bushes and buffers bonded to the tube and long piece like that is not going to fit through the small space we’re working with here. If the MK III/Norvil setup is what you're going for, these instructions don’t apply and a major teardown of the bike will be necessary.

For the rest of us with bikes born before 1975...All you really need beyond a basic set of tools small bottle-jack, a baby-bottle scrub brush, and a patient helper
