Is it normal for a Casa Lambretta ignition switch to NOT fit a Series 3 Li handlebar?
Or are there different types and do I just haev the wrong one?
I'm guessing they're made for GP and Special headsets which had factory Ignition switches...?

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

If your talking about the bit inside the headset where there's a couple of bulges either side of where the ingnition is supposed to go, then yes, they need dremmeling out.
I've had to do it.

Does anything ever just 'fit'?

I know not original looking but scootrs ignition switches fit straight into li bars.and i think they work well.

Original ignition switches just can't fit into a "non-switch-headset" (i.e. Li3) as the diameters of the switch housing and the cut-out buttons are different originally!
The shape is the same and the difference is very small but since it was made by Innocenti it just couldn't be the same.
Sorry, this time we can't blame anybody for the remade parts...

Interesting. I hadn't thought about it, but it makes sense. I remember seeing a post somewhere - it may have been on here - relating to the Jet 200 ignition switches that were mounted beneath the seat. It's possible you could mount a switch like that without resorting to a Dremel perhaps?Innocenti-71 wrote:Original ignition switches just can't fit into a "non-switch-headset" (i.e. Li3) as the diameters of the switch housing and the cut-out buttons are different originally!

Martin, you forgot to add with the word Loctite with Dremmel
