If you do convert it make sure you get a flywheel from a non mtronic as they are different to the mtronic ones.

 

Mark. The part number i supplied earlier on for the op, for the non soft start flywheel is also the non mtronic one....but yes, they need to be careful if buying used parts

So the broken part is no 14 in this diagram, the cover with the fixed shaft. 22 and 23 are the spinny bits and are retained by 24/25 that sit in the broken circlip groove.

 

The shaft has a torx end but looks like its only for assembly purposes?

 

Does the shaft remove from the plastic cover?

I might be able to repair that easily, or turn a new one on lathe.

Another option, if you measure and draw the part up in a CAD program, you could get a new one machined quite cheapily with https://jlccnc.com/

I've not used them myself but I know of somone who was prototyping  a climbing device and he got them to make the parts.

Correct! It has a torx end but I didn't see a purpose, I haven't stripped it down fully yet as it didn't show a replacement shaft on the parts diagram. What I was looking at doing was to bore the plastic starter piece (number 23) down by 5mm or so and machine a new groove in the shaft for the clip. Next job is to see if the shaft can be removed or is moulded into the cover.!

Thanks for the offer on the machining.

Yes sorry, I was thinking about buying second hand parts.
