6 | Assemble the inner cover, ensuring that it enters over the location dowels, and fit snugly home during assembly, at the same time guiding the cover over the unsupported outboard end of the selector fork spindle.
7 | Fit the seven nuts securing the inner cover, noting that two of these fit outside the casings. The seven nuts should be tightened to a torque setting of 10 to 15 Ibs./ft. (1.383 to 2.074 Kg/m).
8 | Engage top gear, apply the footbrake, and tighten the gearbox mainshaft nut to a torque reading of 70 Ibs./ft. (9.678 Kg/m).
9 | Assemble the clutch operating lever body complete with lock ring and ball to the gearbox inner cover.
10 | Tighten the operating lever body ring until the body is fully engaged and finally tighten the lock ring to bring the body slot directly into line with the marks previously applied to the boss in the cover. Fig. D6 illustrates the alignment procedure during tightening of the lock ring. If a new cover is being fitted and no alignment marks are present, hold the body in the position where the clutch cable can exert a straight pull, as the lockring is tightened.
11 | Assemble the withdrawal lever, roller, bush and pivot screw and secure the lock nut. Assembly should be in accordance with Fig. D7.

12 | Assemble the ratchet plate and spindle, locating the peg into the knuckle pin roller. Ensure that the 'O' ring is fitted to the ratchet plate spindle.
