This is a bit of a stretch Bill, the AMC Competition shop built the competition engines.And until 1963, all Nortons were built by Nortons, at Nortons in Birmingham.The problems with Nortons built in Plumstead after the move in 1963 was that the machinery was all moved to Plumstead (?), but the operators weren't. At Nortons, the story also goes that the operators knew how the machinery was worn, so added all the suitable wooden chocks etc to get the dimensions and clearances right. It took the folks at Plumstead quite a while to get this all sorted out. Meanwhile, amending the designs to remove things like cylinders spiggotted into the head eventually improved production - and things fitting together...What was at Manchester ? Got any details ?
