Clutch lever question - VTR Firestorm

[huskie69]

Hi All

I was out for a ride about a fortnight ago when my lutch lever decided to fall off

After some carelessly chosen expletives and a scary moment where I almost dropped the bike as it bounced about while it stalled, I headed back up the road to locate the lever and any other bits that may have fallen out. Luckily, I found the lever, adjuster and even the tiny pin which compresses the clutch fluid when the lever is pulled.

I couldn't however, find the pivot bolt which holds the lever assembly in place. I managed to find a suitable bolt by knocking on someone's door though and getting handed a box full of assorted nuts and bolts!!!

Bit of a bodge but it works fine. There's a lot of 'vertical play'. What I'm concerned about is that there should be a small piece of metal in the lever housing - something which looks a bit like a cube with rounded edges with a hole through the middle (which the pivot bolt screws into). This piece of metal seems crucial for the stability of the clutch lever as well as adjustment. I can't really explain it further as I'm unsure what it actually looks like! So any help on this on would be great (what's it called? and where can I get one?!).

My MOT is also due in a few weeks and I'm wondering if this could be a point of failure?

Most likely just a square nut, looks something like this:

You could probably get away with using the correct sized normal nut too, might need some loctite.

Just been doing a bit of googling and I think I've found what I'm after... it seems to be a little cylindrical jobby with a hole through it like this:

What is it and are they standard?

Yep, that's part number: 22885-MB0-006

And in this case the bushing is a type of plain bearing, its made from brass, so is low friction and will help ease wear on the pivot.
