Doubts Mark3 68-70 parts

[elmoi11]

Hi Nigel.

Do not apologize, on the contrary, I appreciate that you share your knowledge about the manufacturing peculiarities of Mark3.
I know a lot about Mototrans, but about Ducati Italia, I don't know many things.

I don't have a complete Mark3 to restore, I can't afford to buy it, it's a lot of money. But I have several Ducati and a lot of Mototrans equipment, and I try to buy Ducati Italia parts, when I can at a reasonable price. So I want to take advantage of this Aprilia headlight, which I have, in Spain they are difficult to find. Also buy a casket deposit.

With all this I want to mount a Mark3 68-70 or 71.

The most important thing that I am missing now is the seat, side boxes and some empty wallets with the appropriate numbering.

P. d .: I also find the bulging lighthouse at the top more attractive and c. r. p. m. Veglia. But those parts are expensive and hard to find.

Thank you all.
Greetings.
Moisés.

Hi Moisés.

The side boxes are very similar on a Swiss army Condor, you might get lucky there. The seat pan is different on the early mark3's compared to the later "blue and gold" models, by quite a bit length wise at the front. If you can make or find a suitable base, a good upholster should be able to produce something that is passable looks wise.

Thanks Nigel.

Yes, I have seen for sale, a seat of mark3, 73-74, blue and gold, but of 68-70 (coffin deposit), I have not found.

Good note, the Condor, for the side boxes.

There is a person who tells me that he has the side boxes and the seat. I am waiting for an answer.
Let's see if I'm lucky.

Greetings.
Moses.
