[QUOTE="Phil Mahood, post: 147393, member: 71"] I agree with Craig. Just trim the hole in the Grosset plate so the bushing can enter. No, the bushing does not capture the plate. You have engine studs and tapered screws for that. In fact, if you are not using the kickstarter at all, you would not need the bushing. I will add that I had to turn off some material from the top of the bush so that it was flush with the plate. There is so little room that you have to do everything for all the parts to fit. As you go, make sure the kickstart quadrant goes through its full path with the K/S cover on, G86 spacer, and shifter in place. It must not foul anything. Then make sure the shifter works and clears everything in all 4 gears. You will probably have to make a new G86 spacer or add shims so that the quadrand has no end play. The quadrant cannot be allowed to travel laterally and then foul something or fail to engage the modified G46 gear. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
