I used to place a small "O" ring above and below the arm, it helped keep the grease in and water out, and will also take up any slack/judder. There are people on here , I think Trigger does it, that can bush the old arm and ream it back to stock size, so don't dump the old one!

Trigger:
Yep, don't bin your old ones girls and boys. I can refurbish them so that they work better than the original units  ;)

Try slacking off all three bolts , then push the pin up and tighten that bolt, then push the top bracket down and tighten up the top two. This should squish the 0 rings a tad.

A bit late but I have just checked my F1 and 1 to 11/2 mm play is the same as mine.

Cheers

Skoti:
Thanks for the replies.

Hairy Git, I have the 'O' rings fitted in the holder and the pin greased.

Dennis, thanks for measuring yours and reporting back.

Trigger, I'm going to follow your advice and slacken the 3 bolts and maybe push the pin up using a small 'G' clamp on the pin and top bracket. Perhaps that's why the 2 top bracket fixing holes are slightly slotted.
I'll keep the old stuff and PM you if I want them refurbished.

All good advice and help, thanks to everyone.

Skoti:
Update.

As Trigger suggested I slackened the 3 retaining bolts, then I decided to apply a 'G' clamp to the bottom of the pin and the top of the top bracket.

The top bracket pulled down a little and I notice the pin now stands proud through the top bracket whereas before it was more or less level with the top bracket.

This has taken away most of the play, I will road test the bike soon and report back regarding brake judder.

Thanks to all who commented.
