Thank you very much! I have a very hot motor running about 12:1 and the smoother the clutch the better. I will be very excited to have this on my experimental bike.

Boy this is really taking off, personally I can’t wait either
Good observation and solution. Any measurements to quantify the variance?
A specific made to measure is obviously preferred, but do the side covers vary much from model to model? I would not have thought so; however, to be confident that the fit is appropriate then surely a few shims inside the cover between the side cover and master cylinder should do the job if necessary ... better to have a bit more than not enough depth.

Here is a link to 2m' Clutch push rod rabbit hole....lots of measurements in here so that will tell you if the side cases are different, or not.

That’s brilliant @650Skull Thank you!
I do love a good rabbit hole to clamber down, especially some of the well informed ones on this forum!
I’ve quickly skim-read the first two pages of the thread, it has me wondering about offering the 1 piece alloy clutch push-rod with steel tips like @TwoManyXS1Bs had made??? With his permission of course.

Sounds very interesting! @ShaggyMech
Do you have a thread with more information on your engine? I’d love to know more as I’m building a ‘hot’ engine myself.

What do you mean by that?when a seizure lept up to get you
1,2,4,8,16~ thousands of an inchWhat do you mean by binary shim set?
Early two stroke seizures were characterized by a slight loss of power and a sudden welding of the piston to cylinder.What do you mean by that?

It's something of a geographical joke. If you weren't there you don't get it.
Imagine riding along and having a broom handle stuffed into your rear wheel...
