Strada Headlamp bracket straps

[funsize]

The clown that is me has snapped-I think by over tightening-the metal ‘straps’ that wrap around the rubbers. The complete brackets are new on Mdina at a pretty reasonable £70 odd quid (Morini part numbers 19.02.23/24), but I don’t need the bracket body just the fixings. Classic Ducati’s site has what looks interesting for £27 saying it fits certain early 35mm forks, I’m just unsure if the bolt holes are the right distance apart. Anyone know what else I might try sourcing or something knocking around in a garage somewhere? TIA

I'll have a look in the boxes in my shed as there may be some 350 ones. I need to see if as a 250 tool box for someone else and I ought to sell off a lot of stuff that won't fit the 2C or a 350 engine.

Ah, senior moment. I think the pair in this photo are 250 items with the articulated straps. My 2c/375 has some after market ones from a 350 I broke 'shimmed' to fit 250 forks. The just strap thing may be 350.
If they are no use to you, a 2C owner may be interested. I won't be building an original 2C any time soon.

They do look the thing, the item to the right is all I need (x2) but of course I’d have all in the picture for a fair price and thank you for taking the trouble

Not sure the clamps will work on a 350 as the 250 has smaller diameter fork legs.
I'll PM you with a price including postage.

In other news, the two t’left of picture (I’m from Yorkshire..) did fit perfectly thank you
How did I clean the corrosion off, I hear you cry? Well, the traditional method of soaking them in full fat cola for 48 hours; just a light rub upon resurfacing and they’re much cleaner. Imagine what it must do to our internal affairs

God to hear they were compatible. The 250 ones seem to have different part numbers so I did wonder. Then it may be with my memory that they actually camre from a 350.

My go to method for getting rust off chrome is to use aluminium foil. Scrunch it up dip it in water and rub the rust. I don't know how it works but as long as the metal isn't too pitted the rust just disappears it also works to clean stainless steel.

Good to know and there’s a bit left so I’ll try that, can’t beat the old roller cola dip though for getting the thick crud off for starters

Rola cola was classified as a chemical warfare agent. It would eat it's way through steel plate.

These are really generic parts used on heaps of bikes - just widen your search terms.

Maybe so Dom but it was nice to strap on some from another Morini supplied by a member, gives me a sort of warm feeling..
