Honestly, this will be the last post about this kickstart - it's gone on far too long! To be fair though, making the shaft was probably the most complicated machining job I have ever done and I had no idea what the spring cover looked like - so forgive me three blog posts on this subject.
We are at the end though, the cover has been raised a little bit to reduce the clearance between the distance piece and the gearbox end cover and it's been cleaned up and painted.
Once I got a couple of coats on the spring cover I fitted the spring and gave it another blow over to cover over any damage.
And that's it, fitted and finished.
Apart from greasing it... might need another blog post?
