That part goes on the top pickup, right hand bolt, it holds the stator wires in place so that they don't rub against the flywheel when the motor runs...
Thanks Lads - but the built-up pics are from the day I picked it up in March, before I'd waved a socket, screwdriver of dremel brush at it. Pretty clean to begin with, which makes it a lot easier. Seller had bought it 4-years ago, tried to start it, failed, then put it away with his 15-odd other bikes. Got it home; it started for me 2nd kick - admittedly only running on one. Turned out just to be clogged-carbs.
Rebuild is almost finished - like to think of it as a "sympathetic restoration" - aka - couldn't be arsed to do any paint spraying. The strip & rebuild have been as much a familiarisation exercise as anything else. Next year - she comes apart again and gets paint and any mechanical probs sorted. Been dead impressed with the quality of the components. The alloy in particular - "they don't make em like that anymore" etc etc). Bought another mc16 the same week in March - that one's a dog. 40,000K and everything shagged-out. Thought it would make a good donor-bike, but to be honest, the bike I've stripped and re-built didn't need anything other than a few new bolts to replace some of the gash that had been used over the years.The 40,000K 'bike will get the track-day treatment (one-day, probably, maybe).
Anyway, looking forward to the day I can get some pics of the finished job on here. But, you know how it is - the last 5% of work takes 50% of the effort and all that - something to do with leaving all the hard stuff till last I suppose.
