Hi
I wasn't shure where to post this, so if there's a better section, please advise. The threaded plastic ring that keeps the ignition lock/switch in place in the dashboard of my V50 has snapped. I can't find a replacement without buying a complete lock. Anybody got a suggestion for a cheapish, sturdy alternative? Basically just a threaded ring maybe with a small inwards flange in one end. Threading is M22 x 1.0 mm pitch. It could very well be a part intended for something completely different. I've been looking at HVAC and plumbing stuff, axle nuts, yoke nuts, etc... Cheers |

Expensive, but it's the same thread as the top yoke nut on some Japanese bikes:
Can't find the same one on eBay but I bought one for my V35 as the original was missing. It needs some filing to fit between the clocks though as it's quite tight. |

Thanks everybody.
I've been looking a lot at yoke nuts too. And while I can find fiat switches for sale it's only the entire assembly and not the bezel ring alone. I discovered that some taps have a metric thread at the end that should be the same so I have ordered a hose barb mount that will hopefully come apart and then fit. The brass finish should suit nicely too. If I was building a steam punk bobber thing, which I'm not though. I will report back. If it doesn't work I'll be sure to mail you, Min, Cheers. |

It did ‘t work.
Threading was correct pitch and outer diameter, but inner diameter was too small so wouldn’t engage. |

What internal diameter do you need? If it's a straightforward boring job I could probably do it for you if you pop the ring in the post. No charge of course.
