Problem solved ! the metal prong had been mangled & was the cause of the stiff tap operation, new original spec tap from Ebay & the problems solved.

Appreciate the info , I’d never have know the prong should have been present without it

Thanks in anticipation

Not the easiest job to do but with a bit of patience & perseverance job done.

Thanks for the advice

Thanks Guys

Guess I was hoping for a miracle when I figured you'd have to pull the clock apart to replace the faceplate, as the one on my bike is in fantastic condition, I'm gonna leave well alone & just put indicators the relevant speeds as suggested.

Including 20mph as I'm in Wales !!

Thanks for the reply’s guys , i’ve managed to find a switch that looks like I will be able to cannabalise, let’s hope Ebay comes good

Hi. Hoping for some help, the horn button is missing from the switchgear & the previous owner has fitted a stand alone horn button alongside presumably as he couldn’t get a new button . Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement button from so that I can remove the bodged horn & return it to ...
