Rear Chain Adjusters - am I being too fussy?

Johnny4428:
That’s an education for me once again Ken, never come accross them. Must have been a reason for changing unless different supplier?

Oddjob:
Probably a different supplier Johnny.

Just looked at the 2 NOS ones and they are the internal locknut type, saying that they are clearly made after the initial stock had been exhausted. New type label on the bag, not the small part label inside the bag like they would have been if they'd been produced during the 70s.

I think Honda did another production run back in the 80s and all the labels changed to a more modern design, I think they would have tried to use the same manufacturers of the original parts but weren't always able to do that, hence why these are slightly different. They also made another run of the 4 into 4 exhaust systems but retained the 374 design with the printing on the back to comply with the USA market

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Okay so mine are both good, I'll check the slot mark is the same & stick with them unless that is different.

Bryanj:
Honda actualy say do not rely on the marks each side of the swingarm, only that they are the same spacing both sides

Oddjob:
And yet they say to check that both marks are aligned in the workshop manual Bryan. I must admit to normally using them, once I've confirmed they are accurate of course.
