Clutch lever pivot bolt

[Ian T]

 FOUND IT

Some total wanker had put it in the shed with the bolts for my paddock stand.

I ask you who would do a total prattish thing like that.

The really good news is that I sleeved an old bolt and had to slightly drill out the clutch lever hole by a mill or so.

Looks like I will have a wobbly lever, but then don’t we all?

Least I found it.

Cheers

Had you not drilled the lever the bolt would never have been found ....................

Slightly drilled meaning a helicoil might fit or maybe a timesert? 👍

What and where did you drill?  Without more info, it would be difficult to recommend possible corrective action, like for example to try sleave pivot bolt in the section that is now enlarged.

I drilled out the hole in the lever a mil or so to take the sleeve over a threaded  normal bolt.

No biggie I think it should be OK apart from a bit of a loose fit around the now found, previously heinously stolen from my garage bolt.

Worse case I will get a new level. I don’t think they are expensive.
