The ones I've just fitted are also 315mm pin/fork but I've had to put some washers in for spacers, there was play.  :(  Blimey, this started as humour thread? Maybe it should be transferred!

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Are you talking about fitting washer at the top mount for alignment or the lower fitting where it clamps to the swing arm?
I had to do some spacing at the top using some washers a member (allankelly1) made for me in SS.

Athame57:
Where it fits to the swing arm.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Does your bottom mount have a threaded plate attached or is it a nut & bolt fitting?

Athame57:
It seems to be threaded without the plate. Whatever, tomorrow it goes into workshop to have a new oil pump seal ( missing from the seal kit I got for the rebuild I had) I'll persuade the mechanic to get me sorted.  ;)
