Bronze starter gear

Post by Iv4n »

Good morning all, I have the opportunity to get the bronze starter gear made by one of our Italian Morini owners, he makes them in batches of 10 and said he could do a discount price of 60 euros per piece plus postage, which I think is pretty reasonable for a quality piece of engineering, so this is just to see if anyone else would be interested, I have already got one buyer, so there are 8 going spare, but hurry "SALE END'S BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY" 😁

Only a week or so ago, I ordered and received a starter gear from Mdina, having used the "Notify me when this item is available" link.

They too have them made in batches and try to actually hold stock, but aparently quite a few people were waiting and they are out of stock again.

If you're going to have to wait for a batch to be made anyway, why not support the supplier that invested their money to take on the NLM spares stock (talk to Stewart sometime about how difficult it was to find someone).

I had a new bronze gear. seems like only yesterday but must be a good 13 years ago. Changed the gearbox oil the other day and was surprised to find it was all still in there.
But I have worked at it.
I noticed a slight bronze luster so guess it is wearing. Still that is better than bits of metal on your BMW gearbox plug.
Still have the old one of course!

Thanks... fair comment Paul, it was a desperate measure, after my FB request from members got a disappointing response. I will give MDINA a call and check out availability.

I'm sure you're in jest but really, Paul's far more than an "influencer"; you do him a disservice!

I think not everyone is aware he's the MRC's Technical Officer, who at the very least, shares his knowledge globally and keeps countless Moto Morini on the road with his videos/posts. Most models, many countries and whether their owners are in the MRC or not.

You can bet he doesn't give a rat's where you buy the odd spare from but the big picture is that if Mdina Italia gives up on air-cooled Morini stock, we are all well Donald-ducked.
