To remove the bezel I heated it so the metal would expand with a heat gun. It took about one to two minutes.
When ever banging on the Vespa I look for the softest thing I can find, such as a wooden paint stirrer. The bezel was too snug, due to paint. So I gently tapped the rubber mallet against the wood paint stirrer and it worked great.
Above note: the broken bezel screw and a chip from the paint. This is okay, because the headset is aluminum and will not rust. Plus the bezel will hide it and no one will ever see it.
Another close up of the broken bezel screw.
I need to replace both that screw and the bezel hardware for 1970s headlight assemblies, part number #15221 at ScooterWorks.
The headset assembly was supposed to arrive with a light bulb. It did not. I need one. I used a Sharpie to label what wires plugged into what terminals.
The final items I need for the headset is the terminal for the speedo light bulb as well as the bulb itself.
I have more done on the Vespa and will post more soon. I also have been working more on my Bajaj Chetak. You'll never guess what I found during the oil change. Click here to find out.
