Noticed the side stand was sloppy even with the spring attached so I unbolted it and cleaned it all up and then installed a brass shim around the shaft. It still had some play so I cut two strips of brass shim half inch wide and one inch long and put those in the gap between the stand bore and the shaft at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock then re fitted the plate and bolt. It's not perfect but it won't drop down on its own so its an improvement until I can find a new stand.
