I'm trying to finish rebuilding a 1974 850 and I've run into a silly problem. The spark plug wires at the coil end are too close to the top exhaust valve cover nut. It's way too much to show here in pictures and comments so I've made a quick web page to show the problems: https://www.gregmarsh.com/MC/Norton/Norton_Spark_Plug_Lead.aspx
One thing I didn't discuss in the web page is that if the coils are spaced wider by a lot, the problem can go away, but then getting the already difficult front tank mount nuts on and off becomes a real problem.
I imagine that others have had this problem and that some have solved it in some way that escapes me.
