Actually that is what I did, I put a 5.1v zener diode in my tailight wires and seems to be working. So thanks for the replys but it is fixed, cheers Darin ...

Thanks, Trace, but the problem is, there's nothing to tighten the cable onto. Yeah, there are no threads down there. I guess I'll just guess at how fast I'm...
Gary, You don't need threads. #30 of the figure which Trace led is rubber ring if my memory is correct. Which tighten the metal of the outer cable. # Someone...
Kind of. The nut(#13) comes off and slides onto the cable outer. Then the washer(#12) and the rubber piece(#30). Slide the cable inner and outer into the...

I notice that there are two variations of horns covers on 160 GS's. One seems to be the clamshell style and the other seems to be one that has horizontal...
Well my 1965 GS160 new to me as a21st birthday present in that year had a clam shell horn cover, and in all my scooter club years up to 1972 I never did see...

Thanks, for the information. But if you look at the pictures of the MK1 in the user group, you will see the variation. On my 1962 160 GS Mk1 it has the same...
My 1963 GS MKII has the VBB style with the lines rather than the clamshell...and I know, in fact that, this is the wrong one...Do you know how I know????...
Is your horn circuit AC or DC. I think the clamshell is the DC horn and the line type is the AC one. Different horns for different markets. Paul B. [Non-text...

My MK1 is the non-battery A/C circuit. The MK1 in the photos in the user group is also a non-battery scooter and does not have a clamshell. Is there anyone...
The clamshell comes in both AC and DC. And is far cooler. Clarke. ... From: "Freddy Quesada" <Freddy_Quesada@...> To: <vespa-sports@yahoogroups.com> ...
Paul B is correct about the horns: clamshell for DC (battery bikes), and horizontal for non-battery. I think the UK generally had battery scoots in the 60's...
That is not correct. All the GS 150's had batteries, and they all had clamshell horns. Also, I've had several VBB 150's, and none had batteries, but all had ...
