A long shot I know but are there any PW members into classic mopeds, I have just picked up a 1968 P50 which needs a bit of tlc but am struggling to find 2nd hand spares.

 

Same as this one, don't all laugh at once :lol:

Ebay, UK, US, Germany and Japan (used the translation button) seem to have most consumables available and some body parts.

 

Like everything with old bikes, you just keep looking, and, if you are not in a hurry, they will turn up.

 

I have tried ebay sites but cant find much really, am sure Honda P50 translates as Honda P50 ? :lol:

 

As you said, I will keep looking, no rush. :good:

Well, I did a quick search on the four sites and found thousands of entries - though obviously I don't know exactly what parts you are looking for.

The Japanese site is a little strange, but, obviously, it brought up the most entries.

 

I would think that the first things that you would need are a numbered parts book and a workshop manual

Strange that, what did you search for? When I searched Honda P50 on the Jap one it came up with zero.

There's not much there to go wrong or get bent. What was it that you were after?

Have you tried the P50 forum or Facebook Page?

 

The P50 forum dosnt seem to be working if you mean The Buzzing' one and am not on face book.

Have you tried Dave silver spares in saxmundham Suffolk? He buys up old nos Honda stocks from all over the world

 

I have and have used them in the past for other Honda parts but it pains me to pay 2015 prices for 1960's parts, and two of the parts I need have to be ordered in so I could be waiting months, might have to go that way though.

What are the parts that you need?

 

The main one is rear wheel sprocket as mine has teeth missing, David Silvers want £40 +vat and have to order it in, having said that they do have a NOS fuel tank for £30 which I will buy as mine is very rusty inside.

Hi Ive restored old Honda's

Yes you're correct in the many of parts are now obselite.

 

From memory , the engine in the PC50 is shared with the Honda QA50 ?

 

Europe , USA , Japan are your best bet for the difficult parts

No Import charges from Europe ;)

USA and Japan you'll get stung with Import taxes / duty

 

 

Have a look here > http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-pc50_model283/

Detailed Parts diagrams to help you on your way too.

 

Enjoy your restoration :)

 

 

Cheers

Was there 21 teeth on yours? Old part No. 41201044040 superseded by 41201044305 about 12 euro just under a tenner + postage

The tank is cheap enough though.

 

Thanks again, I don't know how many teeth but will check tomorrow, have you a link to the advert please?
