[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 156769, member: 792"] Further to my post #61 [URL]https://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/threads/rapide-chain-problem.17596/page-7#post-156733[/URL] I have convinced myself that a C19 shim of the right thickness will do the job. The orange pieces are the bushes in the chainwheel and the narrow blue line is the C19. It serves the purpose of making the adjacent bush (PD24) flange thicker so that the end of the shoe carrier is not proud of the face of the bush and shim. I talked to Coventry Spares and all their C24 bushes have near enough to the same flange thickness, so knocking out the bush and replacing it with a new one with a thicker flange isn't an option. For assembly, a bit of grease should hold it in place while I offer up the chainwheel with the shoe carrier in place to keep the shim centered. [ATTACH type="full"]50079[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
