I think there's a size limit. I had to open up a photobucket and i copy and paste.. I didn't realise the xs's used plain bigends. Can you remember what model fiat shells they were? douglas

It will most likely your clutch centre spider that has hammered out, which gets worse over time. I'm looking for a new one at the moment. Remember the shaft will be way harder than the spider. I've fitted a Norton clutch to a Burman box and have the same problem. If you find a source for a new spider please inform me, cheers! Douglas

Ah! Now ya pushin it sunshine! or i should say "sunbeam" You'll just have to use the 'pute more! I'm sure the sidevalve version of the Es2 or the model 50 will be the same bore sizes in 500cc or 350. not sure about gudgeon height. Dugless

As long as it is timed to max advance i cant see an issue for idle or low speed running. Remember bikes with manual advance maggy's are usually just left on full advance once running. I run a single 500cc with fixed advance for starting and running because i'm too tight to buy the right end housing and cable!! In the past i was happy to find and use any lucas dizzy that would fit ie. Triumph , Norton, BSA without a problem. Most of the advance mechanisms are worn enough to give or take a few degrees. I understand your need for originality but if it's a henstooth i would grab anything that comes my way. Douglas
