When I was installing the new shocks you could easily see the compressor. What could be used is some old mountain bike disc brake calliper shims that used to use on hope brakes. Used to get the in a variety of sizes, could potentially use these cut up just need to make sure they are the right thickness.

Thats funny, I have some mtb gear cable lying around. Hoping I could smash that down enough with a hammer but it wouldnt bend into shape around that clutch part. I dont know if maybe some of that garden wire would be better for this? as from the video, I need to curl it around to hold in place.

Yeh the tin can slices is a good idea actually. Found another youtube video of a guy that did it with Zipties? surely that would completly close the gap up which wouldnt alow you to disengage?

I managed to do mine today which was good and worked a treat on test. I ended up using zip ties as the thickness was correct for mine. The clutch gap was 0.8 so I used a zip tie and tapped it down to a width 0.4 as I think the gap should of been 0.3. Ac clutch disengaged nicely as well.
