Yes mate! Though it's an 18-spline which doubles the price

I have a bearing but no clip. The bearing is used but feels good.

Thanks Mick, what do you want for the bearing?
I'll try to get a new one but it might be to have a spare!
I found the missing clip in the rubber boot but it has broken in two- that's how it came out

You can have the bearing for the postage cost. Let me have your address.

New bearing arrived today from Mick. Thanks man
The arm is too long from pivot to fork ends- pic 1 is where it should sit, you can see the wear marks from where it's been. That's why the spring broke, the 2nd spring is half worn through too.
Pic 2 shows where it was. I'll either need to shorten the arm, move the pivot, or replace one or both. I also now need two springs!
Brewers do a pair for $10.

Looks like you have the wrong arm and/or pivot bracket. There are several of each, some are engine and body specific.
