Thanks Jon. Mine is 3 /12 inches between the throttle & the brake. I see there is room on the brake threaded rod that goes into the clevis pin assembly. Do ou know if you can literally just rotate the rod to reduce the gap? Or do you risk the seals on the hydraulics?

From memory I think you could adjust at the clevis joint after pulling the pin, I'll have a proper look tomorrow

The parts book suggests a simple clevis joint with locknuts each side. Not much thread shown to work with on m/cylinder rod, but any adjustment will be amplified at brake pedal.

There is a lot on mine . At least of visible threads beyond the clevis pin.
If it is two nuts I guess that will be easier if I can get in there.

That will be the problem John. Do you have a spanner monkey in the family who would respond to a bribe?

That would be me. Though I am at Cain's lockdown allowing on the 27th & before that also lockdown allowing it will be at B&C for the fuel gauge so I'll ask them.

Here you go John, you may have to watch the trigger point of the brake light switch as you adjust the clevis / rod ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/10/14/Brake-clevis.md.jpg)

An update on the fuel gauge. B&C have replaced the fuel pump & sensor which is one unit under warranty and also filled the tank FOC. I get it back Thursday but am one happy customer. Thank you Bell & Colvill

Today I fitted a buzzer for the indicators. This was off ebay & is diode protected. It was designed for a motorbike with two power leads (left & right) and an earth.
I chose to make connecting leads using connectors & a Y lead to the existing leads under the spare wheel so the loom isn't cut.
The leads then pass via a small drilled hole is the saddle board to leave the buzzer under the side of the drivers seat. I sealed the hole with white bath sealant.
Not so difficult and now I can hear if the indicators are on.
