re-fitting side-panel frame clip

This is the clip that fits at the rear of the frame on to which the side panel handle rollers go to secure the panels in use. There is the clip itself, two brackets, two 20mm bolts and two 27mm bolts. The longer two go at the bottom of the bracket and allow you to add a mud flap if required.

The clip MUST go under this tab if it is present on your machine.

Fit the two brackets as shown by attaching the two shorter bolts to the two upper holes loosely. Do not tighten yet.

Position the clip and insert the two, longer, lower bolts. Over these goes your mud flap if required. Note that inside the two holes in the upper portion of the mudflap, there should be two strengthening bushes on to which the nuts are tightened to prevent the rubber from squashing.

When tightened, it should look like this. There are rubber gaskets which can now be purchased that fit under the clip and brackets etc. Although not standard, it is a nice addition which prevents any damage to your scooter frame from scratches and keeps vibration down. Worth considering.

Make sure the clip is definitely located under the upper retaining clip.

And the bolt heads are flush at the rear. I couldn't find the correct headed bolts for the two lower fittings as you can see, but these will be changed when I get a pair.
