Just finished putting my L5 together after sitting in the shed since 2002 in pieces and have that bit left over.

I have found it listed on the microfiche in the carbs section, only one is fitted, but i cant see where it goes.

Any ideas?

PS Wish me luck MOT next Saturday.

I think from memory that it retains the throttle cables where they sit in the cradle at the carbs - not sure tho as I have done away with the throttle return cable but iirc thats where it goes

Think your right Dave I have a vague memory of removing it and dropping it in a bin

for the L model, microfishe doesnt really show what its for so maybe now the throttle cables as i first thought. This has been asked before about this part tho.

Sussed it, it clips around the throttle cables where they fit to the carbs and locks them in place.
Thanks guys.
