Hi all, noticed a missing fairing rivet this morning,see pic, any pointers as to where i can obtain a replacement would be most welcome...ta.
Actually Torx T9. If you go Allen with those, you’ll be very sorry you did… Still available here (#3): https://shop.oemducati.com/en/products/superbike/1996-1/916-1/fairing-216
The other Allen’s do not look original. An original one (1!) is over a £5 iirc and won’t match. Better on eBay and buy a full set for c£10-£12 and at least they will match. Or replace all with new oe ones if originality is important on this bike.
Something like these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19145901...luQgXR_RVK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
They are 4mm stainless button head Allen screws with nylon washer and stainless nut behind fairing...so probably not original, I'll just get some like for like replacements off the bay, not too fussed about bean - counting originality, more keen on what its like to ride...thanks for all input.
The issue with Allens this small is that they get round very easily, and are useless after that. I guess that’s why they used torx instead, originally. Same as the windscreen nuts.
