G: Gearbox (Twin) G34 locking

[highbury731]

In the latest 'MPH', there is the advice to fit a 1/4" cap screw and tab washer to secure G34 pivot spindle for the gearbox camplate. Is there a commercially-available tab washer of a suitable size?

Some safety wire the cap screw to a new hole in the corner of the dynamo cradle.

Yes thats the trick never failed me but make the wire tight

I don't have the equipment to drill a cap screw, so I made a tab washer. It needs a few drill bits and a file or two. Materials - 1p. The soft nickel allows me to lock the G34 directly, hit it with a screwdriver to make a step in the washer....
