Looks like there is a horn in the cover already but yes it's horn cast mounted 4 screw holes in the back for mounting it yes it came with a 6v ac horn,but should be 12v ac, would the 6v horn stop the lights from working? i put a multi meter straight on the stator blue wire and disconnected the blue wire from the loom, then i started getting mental readings like 40 odd volts, then i reconnected the blue wire's and the multi meter was showing 14,8 v with a little rev, also tried the test lamp again and got an electric shock lol, i dont have my petrol tank installed and i think my carb needs some work so its hard trying do do these tests on your own when the scooter is only running for a minute or two, any way still no lights.

a 6volt horn works on 12volts aswell ,just a different tone , an was scoot just ticking over when the bulb was weak , it should of been fairly bright an blown if scoot was revved hard , was the test lamp 1 you made or 1 of those screwdriver type testers as they can be weak as its a high wattage bulb to prevent it blowing frequently ,H screw driver type and i was giving it some revs, i will try to borrow a multimeter.

i think it goes on the horn cover, not sure if you can tell from the picture, the scooter had a 6v ac horn on it when i bought the bike , i know it should be a 12v ac, i connected the old one to it tonight because i was curious, still no lights but the horn worked, i also put a test lamp on the blue wire coming from the fly wheel, it did light up but was very weak.

If it's a non battery then you've just answered your own question. Join the horn up, and then try it. A quick test is to press the button with the lights switched on, they should light as long as the button is held. i dont have a horn, you think this is the problem? i read the horn wire goes to switch and links the others up, this the case? yes its a non battery and just realized i have no bulbs in the indicators.

Don't drill it, it's easy enough to pull out. You're going to have to trash the toolbox lid though. how can you get it out without drilling?

There are 2 plates for each side of the tunnel, a smaller plate goes on top of floor, and a slightly bigger plate goes underneath floor before stand is fitted, so it is like double strenthening, and helps hide signs of damage to top of floor, the plates are for the bolt holes . Ian cheers, so i would not need to remove the pesky floor runner kit?

If the floor has a small dent in it at the bolt mounting points then fit the stand strengthening plates you buy from Gran Sport, or maybe other suppliers now do them, they are stainless steel and give the floor a bit more strength and hide the dent, my p2 had a dent on floor probably due to previous owner sitting on it while on stand or riding it off stand, as well as butchering stand to fit sports exhaust. the plates look good and hide problems, loads of vespa owners use them, if you want a look give me a call, or i can txt you a pic. I know you need them asap but worth doing. do the plates go on the top end or under the bike before you bolt the stand on? fair enough they give more strength but would the bike be more stable on the stand, keep running into stupid problems with my rebuild.

fitted one I bought few days ago rather the put the rusty old original centre stand back on, anyway you could knock the scooter over with a feather, does anyone else have one? have I fitted it wrong? seems it can only go on the one way though, had to sit it back on a box for safety.

Turn the ignition to the off position (anti clockwise) and it's the two tabs connected by the copper turning bit. The black fastens to the handlebars to earth the ignition out. Got the small loom for the speedo, earth goes to speedo and ignition and and bulb holder and a few yellows that go to hi beam warning light and speedo light and also connects to bulb holder, this sound about right?

Only two wires to the ignition switch, green from the cdi and black to earth. They go to the larger tabs. The smaller ones are used for something on some models - US Spec maybe? - but not on UK models. I will get some pictures of my progress uploaded later, think i have sussed the headset wiring, not 100% though.

Seem to have ran out of wires, do i need to make some up or is there another part you buy and connect to others in the headset? dont have any for the speedo or main beam warning and also one missing from ignition. sorry about the small image photobucket wouldnt load on laptop, green wire is to the ignition and red and grey on the flasher warning light.
