As long as the nut screws on leave it alone as you dont need that slot
That’s good to know Bryan. How do I switch it from slack to tensioned when I rebuild the engine?

found on mine that you need a magnet to tell if washer is stuck to head on some of the less accessable ones
A top tip Martin; I'll try that, thanks!

I've bought stuff from them before and never had a problem. They're usually at the larger bike shows too.

Are we talking here about the captive type stud/bolt  that is normally part of the tensioner blade - not available as a separate part? Is your tensioner blade in otherwise good condition.
The tensioner blade and mechanism assembly looks to me to be in good condition. It is just the head of the screw that goes through the 10mm nut with the little gear bit on the end. Where the outer part of the locking screw should have a slot it has had too much force applied with a screwdriver and one side of the slotted part for the screwdriver has sheared off.

Its been a pretty good morning so far. Head and barrels now removed and time for a rest and some tea. Just a couple of worries along the way: 1) I only have 11 head bolt washers, not 12 so where is the 12th, was there ever a 12th? ( I have used an inspection lamp to look down the cam chain tunnel and I cant see anything in there, I have given the head a good shake and it hasnt fallen out. 2) the screwdriver slot on the cam chain tensioner adjuster screw is stripped out/snapped off. Waiting for my son to come round later this morning to help remove the forks.
