Something about that first shot, tells me it started out as a Breva. The header looks too small and that clamp around it seems wrong for a Norge.
But anyway. The bottom shot looks good.

Glad to hear you are back Kiwi_Roy!
I have learn so much about MG electrics from the trove of posts and drawings you have shared over the years, I'm tremendously grateful to you for that. 
I hope you keep feeling better and are able to go for a ride when you feel like it

General Discussion / More accidents

« Last post by Tom on April 16, 2024, 05:13:31 PM »

While the wearing of gear mitigates injuries and fatalities, it still does not protect you from an accident when the driver of a car crosses the center line.  A number of recent motorcycle fatalities in Honolulu were reported that the rider was wearing a helmet but the rider passed away.  No connection to the offending vehicle running them over and dragging them.  Just a pet peeve of mine when the tv news media reports motorcycle accidents.  Always the tagline for helmet or no helmet use by the rider.   

For those of you that were stationed at Schofield Barracks while in the Army, it's the 2-lane highway from Waialua to H2.  A nice ride that passes Lake Wilson and the 3 gates onto the base.

General Discussion / Set-screw size?

« Last post by Air-Cooled on April 16, 2024, 05:04:00 PM »

One of my Aprilia turn signals is missing a set-screw.  I tried to match the thread size at Ace Hardware as well as the area's largest fastener supply company -- Copperstate.  Neither could match it.  Does anyone know the thread size of these?  Copperstate said it was a 10-32 and indeed, I was able to screw and existing Aprilia screw into their 10-32 test socket, but the actual 10-32's are too wide fit in the signal.
