Would anyone be able to help me out and take a quick measurement of the thickness of the Primary gear backing ring and the c ring, for a 1275 engine.

If you are unlucky and the c clip has been replaced at some point with one from Minisport, that might be your problem, failing that, as Andy said, the rear bush is worn.

Having a closer look the crank does look like it has a fair bit of wear on it (not good). Think i need to find another crank.

A pukka c clip fits in the groove on the crank nicely without much play. The Minisport ones are made of a sub standard material and are thinner. They rattle around in the groove on the crank. difference in thickness is absurd! On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Well i have got a new C clip and washer from Mini Spares and this has removed all the play in the groove in the crank. The end float is not in a sesible range and i will be able to get the correct end float with a different size bronze shim.

6 thou is OKish on straight cuts, excessive on helical. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I had the same problem, I ended up having to make up a new bush to take up the endfloat. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
