parts availability

Post by citsncycles »

Before I head off to the dealers later in the week, does anyone know if the clips that mount the headlights onto the adjusters are available, or the metal fuel lines for a diesel?

You can use flexible copper pipe for the fuel pipes - 8mm and 10mm outside diameter. With the price of copper though, original steel ones are probably cheaper these days!

Good news and bad news on this front - fuel lines are are bought and winging their way to me from ebay land, but according to my local dealer the headlight fitting kits are now out of stock both at the UK distribution centre and the factory!

They're Valeo bits though aren't they? Might have some used ones if you're desperate – is it the plastic bits that go onto the metal panel you're after? Or the adjuster bolts (sometimes rust away), or the bits on the headlight shell itself?

I managed to find a couple of the clips I needed (the ones in the back of the headlight unit thatcliponto the end of the adjuster) plus a couple of switches and side trims from a scrap BX I found elsewhere (see my 'spotted' posting) for a grand total of £4!

As these clips do wear and break, it may be worth people checking their local dealers for stock
