British Bikes / Re: 1959 Dommie Restoration

The twin carb head was available on the 1959 bikes as one of a number of optional extras, and you bike was therefore a 'Factory Special' - this was the forerunner to the Slimline SS model introduced a few years later..
Many of the parts shown on your photo's are wrong for the year (if that is important??). You will have great difficulty sourcing some of the tinware, but not impossible if you have deep pockets.
You really ought to get a 1959 Parts List, dealers catalogues, and join the NOC asap. A copy of Bacon's 'Norton Restoration' would be an asset also.
Good luck.
