I'm on the hunt for one of these little brass dowels that does in the brake lever to push the piston into the m/c...

Can't seem to find a part number.
Can they be bought separately or what?

You can't get them on their own Nick............... they only come with the lever, and the OE Ducati ones at that. The pattern stuff relies on keeping the old one :flame:

Hmmm... thought as much. Thanks nelly.

I bought a lever a year ago and it didn't have that little bit with it, I had to use the old one, 'twas a genuine ducati part too!

They can't be too difficult to make tho, just need a small 9mm bar and drill a hole in the side - Looks like a little project may be forming!

Nick,

I've got a complete M/Cyl with lever from a '97 748 sat in my garage you can cannibalise if you want. It's left over from my radial conversion.

Mr S, that's very kind of you!
Allow me to send you a brief u2u...

I'm after a clutch m/c if there are any bits left when Nick has finished... :D

I did consider this to replace my current clutch m/c

But I'm about to feel the pain of the top end rebuild / SP conversion costs, so it may not happen.

If it does, I'll let you know.

This is for the DesmoDue bike, so it needs to be CHEAP!

The '97 lever will be different. They don't use the little dowel, they push directly on the cylinder pin.
I think they changed from '99 onwards??

You're right nelly (of course!), but Mr S is letting me have the lever, and it'll be working a 916 m/c, so all should be fine and dandy I hope!

One less thing to go wrong / fall off then :)
