Hi guys,

I'm loving the Steamer Phil renovated and keeping her polished.

Annoyingly the left hand read indicator has be broken off mid way along the rubber stem.

What adhesive can you suggest I use to adhere the sections back together?

Alternatively do any of you have a spare indicator I can buy?

Cheers guys.

Honestly, you've had it like 5 mins, and already broken...........
I'll look in garage later, it's not really a glue job, but the shaft is used by many bikes, with different heads on them, so you may be suprised at whats available.

I just knew you'd be on to me !   :*&*

I've no idea how it's happened, could be vandals.

I agree with you that using adhesives wouldn't work.

Great tip on these stems being used for other similar indicators.

I just spotted this, I'll pull my hand back down  :icon_redface:

Do you know which other bikes off hand Phil? Be a handy nugget of info  :nod

It's very easy to break old "rubber" like these even just while squeezing past them in the garage.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I've got a pair of Guzzi ones, I think, with circular chrome ends.
Possibly Italian of same era.
Will post them in for sale, just for you Sin....mmmmm Chrome.......

Not long  :ImaPoser

I had a pair that were identical to the Steamer ones but had Chromed casings (still got the casings) I had thought they were from an Adventurer but they are a completely shape.
