Re: Left Hand light Switch - New York

Thanks Tom
Julian has found one and is sending it through. So I should be good now. Also I have sourced a main loom with all its connectors, so I now have everything I need either on the way or on the shelf.

Thanks all for advice and wise counsel. I am so appreciative of everyone’s help.

Re: Left Hand light Switch - New York

Thanks Tom
I had some indicators from these folks.

Looks like they have a few variations, with interesting price variations and one which is the correct length and configuration Will follow up.

Re: New York/Dart Sump Plug with oil level sender

Thanks Julian, I removed the epoxy and did manage to get a vey small bead of solder on the end of the stumpy wire and attach a bit of violet wire, the correct colour even. The float worked and switched correctly. I slid some heat shrink down to prevent the joint shorting to the brass plug and shrunk...

Re: New York/Dart Sump Plug with oil level sender

Thanks Tom,
I will try the splicing route first. I did fix one many years ago on a Dart but that had a few mm of wire poking out.

Yes, I do like things to work if possible, and a bit of figglin’ can be rewarding.

Will go into battle tomorrow…….

New York/Dart Sump Plug with oil level sender

Hi, has anyone repaired one of these plugs successfully? The one from New York’s wire is broken off flush so nothing outside to solder to. As far as I can deduce the float has a magnetic core which suggests the presence of a reed relay in the wee tube. When the float moves down the reed relay flips ...

New York Idiot Lights parts

Hey there, I am looking for a couple of parts to restore the NY idiot lights. The previous owner has fairly butchered all the electics and replaced the real cockpit with three LEDs on a steel plate, which do not even work ! This means that three of the lights are missing. I am short of number 16 and...

Long shot Motos Italiana

Hi,

This website still exists but the email fails. Hardly surprising after so many years.

https://motositaliana.wordpress.com/moto-morini-parts/

Does anyone have contact details, know the person who ran it or know where the residual parts went?

Thanks in advance

Steve
