WTB 450 yellow scrambler tank and headlight shell

[gioto3]

Searching for a 450 yellow scrambler tank and headlight shell
I'm searching to put back in the original conditions my beloved I° series 450 scrambler after a crash one month ago ( hit by a car )
Just redone the mechanics, I'm searching for a yellow scrambler tank in good original conditions, since I don't want to repaint all the bike, that was still original with it's lovely patina, and if I don't find a suitable one I prefer to keep my dented one, (a big dent on the left side).
I'm also searching for an original headlamp shell of the same type of mine, it was the one with the contact key up in the right side.
This is the bike before the crash.

Hi Giovanni

Did you try the scrambler club from Rimini Amici Dello Scrambler ?
they had new headlites made for the series 1 and series 2 scramblers

they sell the new shells as well , i think for 95 euro
so just give Umbretta a call

Hi Elder,
thanks for your help,
I have bought various spare parts there, it's a very good resource, but they just sell modern replacements, though very similar to the originals, and moreover the headlamp is the other version, the one with the key on the lower part of the shell on the left, my bike had the less frequent one with the key up on the right, I'll prefer to find an original one of the same version.
The bike is running again now, I just have some bad dents on the tank and th shell a hole in the shell itself, but all is working again now, so I can wait until I find an original piece, maybe at Imola market in September, or around the web.

Giovanni,

have you tried Ian Gowanloch yet? He seems to have a fair collection of tanks & panels for the earlier models.
