I should think the copies come from the Far East and, personally, would not use them on my own Nortons, or sell them to customers as long as the original still exists and is of good quality.
This is very misleading imo. The current Amal 900's are made in China, which is why you never see 'Made in England' on the Carbs or packaging
Pirating of AMAL components has been going on for quite a while, with jets etc. available for a fraction of the real thing (and a fraction of the accuracy.....),
Hmmm, again misleading. Have you actually calibrated the current Amal jets yourself? I suggest you do so independently, as they are all over the place! I'd love to read your results.
Rest asured Andover Norton will stick to AMAL genuine spares and carbs
And good luck to you, but to infer that the Chinese made copies of Original Amal IMI Carbs and spares, are 'Genuine' just because the Importer now owns the trademark......
I see that Dragonfly are advertising the Wassell Carbs in the new issue of the Classic Motorcycle (nice piece on Andover by the way!), and the VMCC are selling them too.
