Have you released the reach and rake adjustment and pulled the wheel and lowered to its lowest setting? Does help.

When I read your post, I thought what kind of idiot do you think I am. Well, just went out to car and checked, turns out I'm the perfect idiot! :biggrin: I did lower the wheel as otherwise you don't get access to the screws, but turns out on pulling it just now, it shot towards me about 3 inches!! Putting the cluster back should be so much easier now, thank you for the tip...

You don't know how happy I am at that, had visions of me having to retire her which I would have been devastated at. Amazingly good value too as the company I used charged me £60 which included the return Special Delivery postage...

    Now, I wonder what will be next LOL

    Have you thought about up grading to a wet belt?  They seem very popular and get a lot of press 🤣

    Now, does that mean taking a shower in my jeans, though I thought water wasn't great for leather? :laughing:
