[QUOTE="eharris, post: 108825, member: 3585"] Thanks for that feedback. Initial investigation so far: One of the E80 nuts 'overhangs' the end of F39/2 and with the kickstart cover done up tight (previous assembly was without the KS cover) it doesn't want to fit between FT5 and G50. Without the overhang (left the dust cover off) FT39 fits nicely. One bearing is shimmed out off the shoulder. I need to check to what thickness. My FT5 is new, but I have checked its thickness with the old one and they are the same (1/4") to within a few thou I now need to do some measuring and checking of the bearing numbers (thank you Chankly). As a slight aside, the "F39/2" suggests that there may have been an "F39" and "F39/1". Does anyone know if there was, and if so how they differed (or perhaps I have just misunderstood the part numbering)? [/QUOTE]
