Interesting link. I used the original parts except for the 2 abutment spacers. I had to buy replacements as one of mine was missing and replaced with an Allen head bolt.

None at all, the CNW starter design is different from the factory MK3 and also uses a belt and not a chain.

As Komando says, you move the gearbox to tension the belt on your bike.
Except… you won’t! It’s been set by Matt and will almost definitely not need adjusting for its life.
