It's a real pain to get to. I may have to strip the front of the bike to make it a neat job. The two washers sound good as it doesn't move sidways, it only keeps the cowling at a set height. A bush welded in to the remains of the mount would do the right job but how would welding affect the integrity of the bearings etc in the tube?
