It's been a while, but due an update here. Both brackets made and things are running fine. No issues with cracking so far..time will tell I guess.

So onto a new project, raised woodcraft bars. I thought I would give these a go!
Here you can see how much the woodcraft bars raise the clip ons

Once I had both in place, I contacted Hel, here in the UK, manufacturers of the original lines, and had longer versions made. Not too expensive and really quick service.
Getting the clutch line off proved to be the trickiest, as a lot has to come off to get to it, but all done.
As I ended up taking out the airbox, I thought I would do the IAC valve delete while I was at it. I tapped the hole between the two chokes to M10 and use an M10 grab screw and some sealant to block the passage.

here is where I hit a problem. The rubber seal between the airbox and TB's had split:

Stue Bodycote mention on FB that the Domi part was unique. Bugger.
He also mentioned that Krazy horse here had purchased a load of stock from the old Norton, so I could try there.
I dropped them an email and Ben Godfrey kindly emailed back. they indeed have a few pallets of parts. mostly cosmetic bit not much in the way of service parts. He has a list of parts and he said he fairly regularly goes through looking for specific parts. He came up with a similar part for the Commando, so I was able to pay him and have it delivered. How different could it be?
Turns out quite different.

Luckily, you can cut these down and use them, but due to different flange thicknesses, it makes it all a bit tight

I have ordered some narrower hose clamps, as the old ones won't fit:

I'll also need longer screws that hold the flange assembly to the airbox, so this will all come apart again anyway.
