Jeremy Clarkson? The
Top Gear guy?
I had not thought of that.
I was thinking of things like tthe Norton motorcycle, where parts from one won't fit on another.
I think their idea of mechanical "tolerances" was whether Ian in the assembly shop could tolerate swapping around parts until he found something that fit.
