I cut mine & got it welded, cover looks exactly like mine.
Using it without the circlip is inviting lose. Trust me its no fun walking back 1 mile trying to remember when you last changed gear in single track & still not finding it & having to finish the loop stuck in 3rd (luckily not say 5th).
I tie wired a loose loop of wire to the lever & back to the frame so if it does jump off it doesn't go far. Bolt doesn't retain like a jap bike.
