After a weekend of reconditioning the Mk2 swing arm with a new Mk3 type pin, double locknuts and O rings and spruce up with paint and plating on the back end bits I took off for run around the block to see how it felt, returned to the workshop and damn it...there was a pool of gear oil and the right hand swing arm end cap! The little head of the piss weak rod that pulls the end caps in had sheared off despite my very careful attention to not over tightening it. Well its been there for a long time and maybe its just fatigued.
Question is - does anyone know of a better fix for the end caps? I'm inclined to machine up something with a thicker section and a bigger gauge rod?
