Is there an easy way to test for charging ?
TrickyMicky:
Looking at your photo, the arm from the rear rose joint to the 'toe' part is in one piece in a straight line. If you look at the pics on David Silvers site, note the pattern and original show that arm as being a separate piece welded further outboard so as to clear that nut and stud. Your new one is not very well designed, sorry mate. Whichever one you fit, get hold of an aerosol can of spray grease with a nozzle and fill the rubber boots on the rose joints. I have always done this and am still using the original gear lever set. Have fun, Mike.
Oddjob:
That's the bottom engine hanger bolt Ted.
On the 500 that bolt is threaded both ends, could be the same on the 400. In which case loosen the nut on the gearchange end and take the bolt further through the frame by tightening the nut on the brake lever end. That should stop it hitting.
The linkage rod is nice, looks like phosphor bronze. Doesn't loom a lot like the original lever does it. Looks cheap and nasty to me, doesn't even have the alignment dot in the lever to match the gear change spindle. Can't understand why with new rose joints there is so much play.
You still got the old original lever?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Yes I have the original lever Ken it will be in my box of bits that I have replaced.
Yes it is threaded at both ends - never thought about just moving it across a bit - Ill give it some looking at, obvious now you mention it.
Sesman:
Something weird about that lever. As standard the long part of the lever sits outside the gear shaft fitting. Also I think that the gear shaft fitting needs rotating clockwise by about 30deg until the bolt is horizontal. This may require some further adjustment of the rose joint bar.

The second photo is misleading as it looks as if it's close the the lever on the shaft, if the shaft lever is rotated further clockwise then the heel of the foot lever strikes the clevis pin on the footrest.
I have the pedal adjusted now so I can select all the gears but the play in the new ball joints seems excessive for new joints - I probably should have bought the DS one but it is expensive at £70 ish.
