Any ideas on what this was

Hi all, further digging to sort out the clutch and I discovered these parts in the grunge at the bottom of the L/H crankcase. The push rod is also pitted and bent!! Glad I started now.

Looks kinda like your clutch pushrod bushing. Never seen one look like that though.

Hi Willis, that is what I thought but the diameter is too small for the pushrod to fit in. I also wondered if it was a spacer/locater from the casing but it isn't that either. Whatever I am guessing it needs further exploration = further expense! Oh the joys of owning a vintage bike. Cheers. Pete

Better than what I found in mine….

It sure looks like one of the guide sleeves or locating dowels for the cover .....

Maybe it was replaced but they never cleaned the old one out from the bottom of the case?
