Fitted Tee Shirt & Video ?
Anyways the return spring I found is not the correct one - it's the old one for my 400 that I replaced.
Done another sweep of the garage and failed to find the brake pedal spring plus the stop lamp switch they are together somewhere no doubt.
Can't fit the swing arm until I find it or a replacement!
Found the rear brake switch & its spring with the ignition wiring - no trace of the brake pedal return spring afetr another fruitless 40 minutes looking in everyone of my parts boxes.......sigh.
Bryanj:
Did you put it back on the pivot arm Ted? Confusion caused by my dyslexic dumfone should be space between fitted and tee as in i got the tee shirt and in the video for that mistake! Dont think i have a spare for that but will look, trouble is i am away thurs morn till sun night so cant look till weekend after

I have no other avenues open to me at the moment - in the meantime I will look in all the same places again unless I have a light bulb moment at 3.00 am. >:(
Prime suspects are one of the Chihuahua Pups I've searched their bed & looked in all the places they might have hidden it.

If you do replace the chain it would be useful for you to post a similar comparison just out of interest.

A bit late in the day Phillip but this is my tank track from the 500.
