It’s home at last!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
IIRC it's not easy to get at the three clips with the stator in place. Don't you need to remove the outer cover to undo the stator bolts?
Bryanj:
Im sure the covers i have have blind holes but will check when i have time

FIX, PUSH ON J TYPE, Honda calls them and they are simply pressed in from the outside. The cover tabs are to be pressed in them pins. https://honda4parts.nl/product_info.php?products_id=165&language=en&ceid=c7ad76f1e237d5fa4f7b981f94de8446
I myself am looking for a second hand cover (B) (with minor damage(s)). Price of a new one has gone through the roof and I can't make myself to pay that money, since some 30 years I have seen them offered new for around € 15,-. For some reason back then they were around in abundance. Should have bought some.
DomP:
I've just bought 3 of those j type push fit clips from DS - damned expensive for what they are.
Bit of an update, make sure the pins on the cover are really clean and burr free, probably a good idea to chamfer the leading edge as when I first tried fitting mine a few pushed on in to the casing which meant I had to push them back through from the other side which resulted in a bit of damage to their barbs. I splayed them carefully with a small screwdriver to cause them to drag on the casing a bit more as well, bit of grease on the chamfered pins and success!
Oddjob:
The pins are located on the outside of the field coil but on the inside of the stator, it's not easy to get to them but it is possible. They are definitely not blind Bryan, I've done this a few times now, it's the only safe way to remove the badge IMO.
