Pete how is your main cluster held in as i don't see any retaining screws or bolts, mine has holes for bolts on each side. Cheers Dick

There should be two small studs welded onto the inner face of the engine cover 3/16 UNF from memory but may be smaller. The cluster has two small drilled lugs that match up and the assembly is held in place with nuts and lock washers in the normal way. There should be no bolt holes in the front of the engine cover for the cluster.
I have seen a number that are bolted as a result I suspect of the studs shearing off while trying to undo them, a bit of rust on the threads and their toast.
