Baz, shells are so cheap I don't think it is worth going any further than your regular parts supplier for genuine Norton ones.

Andover Norton now have stock of newly manufactured Commando con-rod bearing shells which offer improved wear characteristics over the original equipment items.

They still have have the high quality Lead-Bronze bearing substrate of the original shells, but offer a more advanced bearing surface than the original Lead-Indium overlay treatment. They now have a superior Lead-Tin-Copper finish overlay for a longer service life and greater wear resistance.

Sometimes original is best, but if improved technology is available it is wise to make use of it for this type of demanding application!

the Italian made Nuova botto shells are not the best , i have used their bsa shells and had fitment issues ( tight spots )

RGM sell the King Bearings for Commando and i have used them on road engines with no issues

Not sure which brand AN use these days but doubt they will be original or UK made both Vandervell and Glacier stopped making motorcycle shells many years ago
