Fiddling w my front wheel to get the rim centered in the forks, and found 2 parts (I think) in the axle/hub group that don't show in the parts book.
One is a chromed washer that is between the left fork leg and the dust cover.
I probably put it there to eliminate a gap, a gap which I now believe is normal, so I'll pull it off and leave it off.
The other is a dust cover similar to part #20 in the exploded diagram, 063918, but which is on the right (disc) side, just outside of the small portion of the disc itself, and appears to be fitting over part #21, 062448, the disc side spacer.
From a 2012 thread called "gap in front axle" , member staticmoves says:
" There are two different dust covers, one has a spacer built into it and one does not. And it looks as though you have the proper one on the proper side, the disc side has the spacer built in."
The problem is that I cannot find this right side dust cover in my parts book or on the Old Britts diagram. There is only one dust cover listed, the left one, and qty needed is 1.
Does my disc side dust cover really belong there? if so, does it have part number or show on any diagrams?
One more possibility: is the disc side dust cover actually part of the spacer 062448 and drawn so poorly in the diagram that it does not resemble the actual part?
Thanks in advance--
Rick
