Not sure who Nigel is yet as picking up legs tomorrow morning. He may not be connected to the MRC as this was negotiated through eBay. Als...

Re: 500 Strada tyre sizes..........

Ive had nearly new Avon RoadRiders crack their sidewalls, and zero reply to a couple of emails to Avon tech-support when they were still down the road in Melksham. I wont buy them again. Good riddance.

the large OD clutch-basket spacer/washer

It's part number 15:05:12 - goes on the clutch output shaft, up against the gearbox-bearing, and behind the clutch-basket

Anyone got a spare, or one handy and able to measure dimensions (mainly thickness) for me?

TIA
