Engine side cover

[65Honda]

Well it has been a while since the my dream was dismantled for rebuilding. I'm in the process of putting it back together and have a couple of questions for the experts: The left side cover that mounts toward the rear of the engine has a cut out for the wiring harness which is obvious but what is the rectangular hole for on the side? Secondly, I would like to reassembe with all new hardware and was wondering if anyone had use button head allen bolts for this? Anyone have a source for the complete set of hardware?

The clutch cable has a square part that holds it in the side case.

If you have the parts book it's on page 61 item #11.

If it's a CA95 Rimfire Cycles screws has a set.

I've never put anything on the bolts to insure ease of release. Cycles have a vibration problem that can loosen bolts
and in some cases you need a weak locktite adhesive to hold them. Just keep the threads clean and
torque the screws and bolts properly. Buy a hand impact to open the screws. It will be worth it's weight in gold.

Thanks. The clutch cable makes sense. As I'm from Ontario, I am pretty sure this is a C95 (not sure how it differs from a CA95) I do not have a parts book and Im figuring it out as I go. Regarding the bolts - do any of you use anything on the threads? Such as anti sieze compound so that future dissassembly is easier?

Not sure what rectangular hole you're referring to, so let's work with visual aids.

#2 in the schematic is a rectangular port that provides access to where the clutch cable connects. This port was added at some point, and may not be on the earliest bikes.

#9 is an aluminum joint that supports the clutch cable.

Thanks ByTheLake and DanUhr. Both of you have been helpful. Items 2 & 9 were what I was refering to. I have to look around and see if I have those two peices (I was not the one who took it apart) Am I correct in assuming that # 9 is attached to the cable?

Yes, the clutch cable routes through part #9.

Jim, there's a bit in this thread that shows how to tell the C95 from its CA95 brother.

Thanks Sam. They don't appear to be that much different mechanically but in saying that I don't have the bike experience you guys do. The most obvious difference I note is that C95 is stamped right in the engine block assy.
