Kickstart lever re-assembly

Hi folks ... rebuilding the T500.... re-assembling the bits recently back from chroming, and left scratching my head with the kickstart! :?
I handed it over in one piece, with the "knuckle" joint working perfectly. I need to know if the chromer has given me everything back, because it feels as if something is missing ...

I have the main lever, and the part which clamps to the shaft spline, with two short springs & two locater balls.

So, two questions : Is it all present? and if so, anyone have any tips on re-assembly?

Thanks folks.

missing is 2 bolts and 1 plain washer ,wavy washer( for the large bolt).1 for the clamp and other is a large bolt with no thread but a grove for the cir clip.

sorry the big bolt is part of the lower...not a separate item :oops:

I've got the circlip & washer, looking at it again I think it's probably all there ... the problem is that I didn't disassemble it myself .... nursing the wife through the lurgy at the mo, and working all hours, so it'll be Sunday before I get a chance to look again.

Thanks for the input :)

Cheers - panic over.
Sat down with the bits yesterday, had it fitted & working in 2 minutes.
Newly chromed bits back on, and she started second prod.
Just had a wonderful little run out on her, leaving clouds of Casytol R smokr behind me to the delight of everyone out walking on this glorious autumn day.

Next job - to fit the electronic ignition 8)
