Chain Tensioner Clip for Crankcase Assembly

[Flash]

Had a great deal of trouble retaining the slipper, spring and cylinder while joining my crankcases.
Heres my 5 minute solution for those with fingers too short, too thick or just dont work.
The clip fits with the long fingers over the slipper end and the short fingers either side of the bolt boss underneathe.
Make sure that it is small enough to be extricated via the nearest crankcase hole!

There are many ways to achieve this...this was just mine.
Hope it helps.

Thin wire (I use aircraft locking-wire), over the tensioner blade and out through the crankcase, where you bring the two ends together and twist to lock in place, holding the tensioner fully compressed. When the cases are bolted up, just snip the wire and pull it through. Simples.
