Thanks all.
The rubber dust cap is missing so I presume wear. The 4 washers on the cush pins do seem to work though... For how long though I don't know!

 There should be no rotational play, except for compression of the cush rubber, putting plastic shims equally between the metal stud holder segments and the cush rubber helps. If any free rotational play is present it will drastically increase the wear on the spacer and wheel hub! Packing with an additional washer is ok if well greased between and does not increase friction that could cause the circlip to rotate and cause wear to the circlip retaining flange of the wheel hub casting. I use lots of Castrol LM Grease between the sprocket spacer and the hub and the inner face of the washer!

Cush drive rubbers should be a tight fit, if they just drop in then they are worn, they don't always give the impression that they are worn but the rubber degrades and replacement is the only real option, the aftermarket ones do the job but will need a bit of force and rubber grease to get them into the holders.
There should be no play when you fit it all back together again on the bike, and make sure the large circlip is not worn and has enough tension and fits in the groove correctly, its very easy to assemble it and not get the circlip inserted fully all the way into the groove. gear changing will be noticeably smoother and no clunk or backlash on the drive if you have fitted the new cush rubbers correctly, Hope this helps, and cush rubbers are available from Silvers at a reasonable price and quality.

I had a look at my sprocket at the weekend. There is a wee bit of moment but not much, the clunking noise dropping into first is actually coming from the chain guard riveted onto the sprocket - its loose!

Your local bike shop should be able to get the hi-level cush rubbers you get a full set for the price of one at DS.

I have no complaints with any of their stuff.
In fact, Bike Business in Southampton used to be able to obtain Hi Level rear sprockets that were made by these guys with the guard on.....
But it does now appear like Bike Business have gone out of Business which is a bloody shame.

I have just fitted a new sprocket, insert, spacer washer, circlip and cushdrive inserts to the rear wheel.I noticed the rear wheel is worn where the spocket insert makes contact with the hub. Wear is about 0.015".
Can I assume this insert/hub clearance should be zero as it helps to support the cush drive assembly??
Is it possible to fit shims to reduce this wear gap or should I look for a rear wheel with less wear
Thanks for you help
