Modern Vespa

I have never been into these and I recon someone has been in here before. Does anyone have some decent photos of how these were wired up inside?? This would be missing a wire or brass fitting to make contact with the brass rod.

would like to find good used or NOS and willing to pay, no BS transaction.

I think there would be a rectangular brass tab soldered to each wire. The spring itself completes the circuit. Pressing the switch interrupts it.

Here's a pic

No, it's crazier than that.

The turn signal switch on the headset controls power to the light, not this switch. This switch is used to make contact with the cowl. That's a just how they did it before p-series.


The wire just goes to a tab, the brass plunger is inserted through the tab. There are no contacts on the switch because it is not being used that way; ie, open-closed.

Interesting. When I got my farm bodged VBB, there was a ragged flap cut into the top of the frame tunnel and the wiring was all on the outside. I think I kept it after removing it. Simple but strange way to do electrical.

the above is factory. yours. ... well. . we have all come across those and it's unfortunate.

Luckily it's an easy fix.
