Hi guys, the headstock guard on my newly aquired ML7 gives off quite a rattle when in use.

I've looked over the parts diagram and I think I'm missing two hard rubber bushes (part A1227)

Can anyone confirm that part A1227 would actualy stop the headstock guard from rattling?

The sides of the belt guard that slide over the countershaft swing head assembly run on the rubber bushes and are a tight sliding fit.

If you look closely at the parts diagram you will see that the bushes are a "top hat" shape so bear on 2 sides of the guard sliding edge.

So the bushes do stop rattling.

The problem nowadays may be getting hold of some bushes. They can of course be turned from some plastic material.
