my rear sets removed my indicator but IIRC the needle ring seats on outer shaft rim with a washer on top so lever bolt compressed it to move with outer shift shaft leaving proud center shaft free to pivot. Definitely helpful item after stops or stalls to know which way to snick for N and a glance down at lights before easing off clutch in N to wait and wait.

Indicator (17) moves with bushing (2) not with lever (11), correct??? Spacers must be correct.

I think it is bolted to the ratchet plate 04-0111 with an emphasis on 'think' :roll: it's been a while.

Yes, the indicator bolts to the ratchet plate, item 3, and works independent from the lever which is attached to the 'shift pawl carrier', item 10 here. http://www.oldbritts.com/1971_g6.html

It should look like this. Arrow is marking the ratchet plate end.
