2nd photo is correct for your bike Gary, 1st pic incorrect type.

I think I have two of those knocking about the workshop, and the fuse holders too..............not using them and surplus if you cant  find one Gary

[Bryanj]

If the cover is rocking horse shite the fuse holders are the chromed version!

[gary123]

Thanks for the pics Julie that makes it all clear. I actually have both versions, seems I dont need the lid.

Roo thanks for the offer but Im all good.

[Laverdaroo]

Cool, absolutely no worries Gary..

[Oddjob]

Seem to recall Julie sells the fuse holder, Graham had some made a few years ago.

Theres an 18 mm washer that goes on the kick start shaft before the cover goes on, will any 18mm washer do or is it a specific o/d and thickness.

[Oddjob]

I think it has to be a specified thickness to stop the shaft floating. I'll have a look to see if I got any with the spare engines I bought.

Yep, found 2, I'll pop one in the post for you Gary.

[Laverdaroo]

can you send me the other one Ken?

[gary123]

Thanks Ken thats fantastic.

[Oddjob]

can you send me the other one Ken?

Cheeky bugger. Yeah. I'll add it to the pile.

[Laverdaroo]

Thanks mate, had that on my list bu't hadn't got round to finding one. Only if its spare mind

[Oddjob]

Must check my own engine to see where I threw the one fitted to that, most likely in the large box of bolts I just lobbed everything into.

Getting in front of myself a bit, but Ive read on here somewhere that DS exhaust brackets are pretty poor. Is this true and if so where would be a good place to look.
There's not much on ebay.
