There seems to be a lot of play in the clutch spider on the splines so when I fit sprocket and torque it up there is quite a bit of rock in the sprocket.The engine is a standard sil gp200 and the spider is from a gp150.Ive put 2shims behind the sprocket but this doesn't stop the spider rockin.do I need a different spider or is this movement correct?
Anybody help me with this.cheers. nick

sounds like the bronze bush needs replacing

The spider won't rock when the nut is tightened, your problem is either a worn bush, off centre crownwheel or the spider is sitting too far through the crownwheel.

Hi Nbowe,
I tried different bushes (item 22 bush and item 28 shim scoot restorations section 3 clutch) from different sources and never fully eliminated clutch sprocket slop
on an Indian gp150
Have a look at this:

You can get shims that go behind the clutch spider to stop the sprocket rocking , AF sell them , give them a call
