Hi Fraccie,

Is this the E clip that you are talking about? No E clip on mine, I'm guessing there should be one here.
If so I would be interested in in 1 or 2 if you still have some.

If you work on plant what about the damn ciclips holding the main arm ram pon on a Hymac!

I went on youtube to see how to fit those tiny E clips. I too have just a fitted one. OK heads up. I got a new fuel tank and petcock also, because the tanks you get from David Silver are US spec and take a different petcock. I had trouble fitting the new fuel cap I had also bought, I had to use a file on the fixing point on the tank to have the cap fit so the locking pin could pass through. Now i had just spent £400.00 having the tank and side panels painted ala F2 in candy red, I find I cannot fit the bluddy tank on. Panic. Phones up David Silver and initial disbelief gave way to agreement when they tried the same thing at their place. I sent in an image to show that the brackets on the tank that fit over the rubber fixing grommets was less than the original I had..see pic.  Eventually they found two ways, one I couldn't perform, the other was to cut back thickness of the rubber fixing grommets so the brackets could pass and let the tank fit. They say the manufactor had changed something without telling them, but anyway, if you get one as well you know what to do.

Why does that not surprise me  ::)

Its not unusual to have to remove some paint from the small hole for the pin to pass through.
I had a replacment pin the same as the origanal that had to be peened over now there a pig to fit  ;)
