My trip meter also stopped and upon stripping I found the drive gear sheared in half !
I don't think Veglia will supply spares,or has a member any used parts for sale ?

Clutch cable and switch gear fully wired up using 350 parts clutch seems stuck but could be from the plate drying out.

forgot i had my old sprocket which is in good condition (do these ever wear :lol: ) another expense of the list.

Next get the brakes relined make the front brake control cable

Vin plate then i will be on the road :D then just do cosmetic bits and pieces
