Just thought I’d post an update on the progress so far. I managed to purchase an NOS headlight reflector at a very reasonable price and a couple of weeks later managed to get an NOS Rolle Speedometer drive and a NOS voltage regulator from the same chap in the US. His prices were considerably cheaper...

Thanks for the encouragement Jen.

The problem with the Swiss website is that you need to sign up to an account which I tried to do. However, when it came to verification of the account by SMS, the only country prefix numbers available were, Italy, Austria and Germany. I made numerous attempts to get it to accept a UK telephone numbe...

So, this is how far I’ve got into the project. I have all but finished the assembly of the engine thanks to purchasing the other two basket cases from Nichola for Donor arts and the magnificent Arthur Farrow who has supplied some very hard to get bits including a generator. He has also provided a ve...

There is a speedo for sale in Switzerland. 90 Swiss Francs which is £83:52. Half the price of a dodgy replica. https://www.tutti.ch/it/vi/ticino/veicoli/accessori-moto/contachilometri-moto-morini/58939389 Hi Jen, I’ve tried the link, but can’t contact the vendor to buy the item as I don’t understan...

Thanks to Arthur’s help, he identified a lot of 175 parts from two basket cases that were missing from my purchase. I managed to pick up the two basket cases at a reasonable price and took them home. So far they have donated a complete set of valve gear, valves top and bottom races for the steering ...

Has anyone got a screw on type filler cap for a Tresette?

I don’t know it all and I’ve certainly learned a lot more now you’ve kindly sent me a copy.

I have now purchased the bike, but there are quite a few bits missing. I would appreciate some help in how to obtain them, I am in the middle of compiling a list and if Arthur would be so kind, perhaps he could point me in the direction of some of his Italian contacts for parts. Was hoping to have t...

Just a quick update, I have paid a deposit on the bike to secure the sale and hope to pick it up with Steve Brown on the 6th of April. I’ll keep you updated with my progress or lack of.

Hello Neil. Great to see you taking on the Tresette project and I hope you make it to the Giro. As Steve said, actual workshop manuals appear to be non existent. There is some literature available but it is all in Italian. I don't know much about the 175's but I do have some pdf files which you are...

Not joining in other than to re iterate just how jammy you are Stevie boy

I am about to dip my toe into the water of the Tresette pond and I’m purchasing a partially restored bike that was advertised in last months A Tutto Gas. I am yet to inspect the bike to see what is there and what is not, but the price seems very reasonable for what I have seen (thanks for the advice...

Stainless washers with flats silver soldered on a stainless rod? :lol: :lol: That sounds like my sort of bodge Ian! Only I would do it cheaper! Stainless washers with flats on a threaded stainless rod with a series of locknuts spacing them at exactly the right distance. This exactly right distance ...
