Can I enquire as to whether that part specific to the 500 models only as my 77 550 F2 doesn’t have one. Unless it’s a parts manual oversight/error and I can’t remember removing one.

Its a 550f1 Im working on now. The 500 I did earlier did not have one.

That’s interesting as the CMNSL fiche doesn’t show one for the 550F2, but is does for the 500 and 550 F1.

Must be a weight saving measure😀😁

Does it attach to the coil bolt that goes through the frame then some sort of guide to keep the loom in the right place?

Nope never seen one of them, no reference to it on the F2 fiche and I can’t tell what you’re pointing at on that piccy Phil, number 11 looks like the ignition switch or somming, had a wire coming out of it anyway.

So what does it do then?

I think it's got something to do with increasing the surface area of one of the earthing points.

It looks to me like a guide for one of the leads. If so, what is it guiding it to or keeping it away from?
