Replacing broken rubber turn signal stalks - Page 4

 Hi Dean,


That's my first choice, but it's a big and very diffuse ore body 8-)


Tubing of some sort was my first guess.  I'll have to take the
old signals apart to determine the nearest size. The puzzle
will be securing it. The existing stalks are molded to fit inside
the light house and appear to be molded onto a hollow stud. The wire(s)
go through the stud which goes through a rubber grommet mounted in a
bracket that mounts on _another_ grommet bolted to the frame.
To come close to fitting the tube wall thickness will have to be larger
than normal for fluid transport tubes.

I have to admit, the K&S universal turn signals look much easier.....

The NOS option looks like the easiest way out. I'll probably thrash
around for a while and then just pay my money. The bike has been a
real jewel and is well worth the cost.

Thank you!

 Another option might be to do some strategic whittling and rebuilding
of the rubber using a modified candledipping technique. You could
maybe even do some repair casting in place,  crack filling sort of, if
that makes sense... but it might take several pours since the stuff
shrinks.

They stock this at my local True Value hardware

I bought something like that from JCWhitney several decades ago and
immediately lost it.  I still have the tools I wanted to dip new handles
for and they still have bare-metal handles.

One of these days...

I googled "tlr200" and looked at the blinkers. They looks awfully
similar to the ones on my old NX200. The lens, I'm 200% are the same,
the rear stalk look sooo similar...

That looks quite a bit shorter than the originals (the stalks on mine are
about twice the length of the lampholder) but otherwise very similar.
But, where do the wires come out? On mine they're threaded down through
the mounting stud.

This one has the wires in the right place....

Can't make this item out; mount stud's on the left, but what are the two
yellow things on the right? Truncated wires?

Realistically the shipping would probably overwhelm any advantage in price,
but what is the exchange rate between R$ and US$? The prices look very low.

Thanks for writing,
