Bevel shaft coupling sleeve - (Oldham coupling)

[steveroyall]

The reason my 1974 250 scr went to the back of the shed 20 years ago was because of an awful cam noise.
I tracked it down to the faces where the upper and lower bevel bevel shafts join, these had starting to wear. This in effect allowed the whole upper bevel assembly to have some play allowing the cam to 'push back' and create a god awful slapping noise on the cam.

20 years later, I've got a replacement set of bevel gears but I notice that the new sleeve (oldham coupling) that goes over them is way too big and I've got some play in there already. Alarm bells are ringing
The bevel shaft diameter is 14.97mm and the sleeve inner diameter is 15.04mm

Does anyone here know where I could get an undersized sleeve to ensure a tight fit between the faces? Has anyone here had the same issue?

Thanks

Yep, I've seen it on my 450. I think you will only need a standard coupling sleeve. Sounds like yours is worn. I have a stock unused sleeve that (only using a digital vernier) gauges at 14.98mm. Under sizes are not easy to find in my experience.
