Anyone know a parts vendor Stateside for Bimota. Got a customer's 1999 DB4 Tricolore that has a shagged fuel sender. It's a funky looking design quite different to the Ducati types and probably less reliable. Amazing but true ;D.
Cheers.
ummm...maybe. Bimota has this place listed as the US distributor, though it doesn't seem so on their website. If you want I can give them a call.
Thanks, if you could, appreciate it mate. What shop is that Howie?
No idea, that is why the ummm...maybe.
No worries. [thumbsup]
I'll plug the hole by modifying the sensor and sealing with Stag Jointing Paste until we find a part.
You might check with Eric.
Thanks. You reckon he may have a contact or old parts?
I may have found one from an SB6. It will fit but the tower appears shorter, so it'll probably kick in around 3-4 litres rather than 5 or 6.
They're a strange part, not thick like the Ducati part, but a third the thickness of a pen and more like a pen's core which holds the ink. The tower is hollow thin walled metal which corrodes easily leaking fuel down the centre. This one had a rust hole in the tower and fell apart in my hands.
He might have a source.

It gets worse, the sensor is a simple float. I wonder what 70s Fiat was the donor.
