Gear shift pivot play fix?
taysidedragon:
Here's mine Ted. Poor chrome on mine too but you can just make out the dot on the gear shaft. Clean with white spirit and shine a good light on it to find the dot. Mark with a spot of paint if still hard to see.

Magnifying glass has found a mark I've moved the lever one spline.

Evening Ted,
My lever was completely knackered after a drop by the PO and the chrome was completely gone as that side of the bike was parked up in 1981 next to an open barn window so copped the lot.
I crashed out on the £44 jobby off fleabay but even that was a bad fit and had to have the old rod re chromed and finished to make it work. Bit miffed but a perfect case of pattern part mis fit, I'd not experienced it at all on all the A/M bits I'd bought until I got this, It was nearly 20mm too long and if cut to the right size would have removed all but a 'midge's' of thread on either end which I wasn't keen on.
Reported back to them and got a discount but really annoying when on the final assembly!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I know it's less than ideal - csml have the pivit bracket listed at over £70 with P&P. I'm thinking I could fit a couple of small O rings in the centre recess - no rattle or movement!
Laverdaroo:
Its worth a go but how long would it stay like that after time. If I'd had a L/H thread die (correct spolling?) I would have had a go at making one but had the bits to make a good un.
£70's a bit steep mate. Have you had a good scan about abroad for reasonable used one?
Have you tried CBfour.com? drop them an email (info@cb-four.de) direct it to a guy called 'Hubertus Wilke' (top name, should have been a mad professor ;D) I fire him all sorts of questions on parts and he has bent over backwards to help me out, he may even have the clutch holder ring youre after for your cable routing questions on the other thread as they break bikes all the time.
The service is fantastic as youd expect so theyre worth a shout mate if you haven't already.
