[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 147388, member: 597"] The kick start bush really acts as a datum for the alignment of the plate.......Ideally you should use the bush, and trim slightly any material from whatever stud holes that don't quite line up. It is very important that these studs do not get moved inwards as the plate is pushed home, especially any of the lower ones that could start an annoying oil leak from oil passing along the studs via the primary housing if any of these got disturbed. Also another tip is to remove a small amount of alloy on the inner top edge of the plate immediately aft of the valve lifter cable abutment assembly........this will make any further maintenance of the cable/ lifter rod much easier. Be sure the battery tray E80 nuts are clear of the plate when you do up the attaching studs/nuts, then readjust these after the assembly is all bolted fully home........It is important that the G50 plate does not bend from being hung up, as this will upset the gearshift, generally making the action of the gear lever stiff to move. Good luck with it all........ [/QUOTE]
