Installing a 520 conversion from THR, but the primary sprocket doesn't have the two holes, but it comes with this e clip, similar to the picture below:
So I'm guessing that I just slip the sprocket on, then slip the E clip in the slot where the bracket that the stock sprocket bolts to slips in? The only thing is, if I do that the sprocket is only secured from moving away from the engine, but is free to wander towards the cases. Is the chain enough to keep it from doing this? If it is, it seems it would causes excessive wear on the chain/sprocket(s). Am I missing something?
For reference, the stock sprocket/bracket looks like this one:
... Also, the rear sprocket did not come with any spacer, so there is a gap between it and the retaining clip. Maybe there is some easy remedy to this? Maybe I'm missing something? But for $140, I'd expect a "conversion" 520 chain kit to be plug and play, or come with any additional needed spacers...
