Nearly finished my rebuild and couple of small issues that are stopping me finishing. Missing the circlip for the the clutch arm, can anyone tell me what size i need as i want to get it tomorrow.....Also the bushes for my dampers are too big for the studs i have, I need 6m and i have what i think is a 7m bush so there is too much play. anyone have any suggestions where i could get replacement bushes (have the slimstyle ones) and the easiest way to take the old ones out and put in the new ones.
As with the circlip i want to do it tomorrow so wont be able to get to a scooter shop.

Doing me head in as if i had these two bits i could be on the road tonight, nearly 6 months and stopped by a bloody circlip... :evil:

Lets be having yer...

:lol: a socket that fits on the metal of the damper [but will allow the bush to go into it] on one side, and a smaller socket on the other that will push on the bush [but go through the eye of the damper]. pop it in the vice and tighten.
