Thanks Hendred (& Smokey Paul), you are spot on took a Mic to the Piston & its just on 17.70mm Sorry my imperial mic is at the back of a drawer somewhere.. But that works out at just on 0.7".

I also had a go at freeing up the clutch using the kickstart as you suggested but Its stuck fast.. So I am going to have to learn that Indian rope trick of yours.. How long do you make the string link in the drive chain & wouldn't it be better made of something 'formable' like wire..

While I am on it, I replace the old fork oil with 0.25 litres per leg of new oil only to find the seals have gone but at the time 0.25 litres seemed rather a lot ?.
