check your local scooter shop, they will have them and you can compare the broken bits with the new one :mrgreen:

Vespa PX it is! :D Meet a very helpful mecanic at a vespa shop, who had a complete stator plate with defect charge coils he gave me.

Ignition coils, broken morini to the right.

The copper wire on the vespa coil is way to thick and has litterally no resistance so it can not be used. Ready with the new 0.125 wire.
