Thank you very much for your help! Now there is no problems for me to retore the old one to the correct lenght.

Best regards: Frank

I think its quite easy to restore the old one, should not be any problem. Is it possible for someone to measure the total lenght (the both junctions included) of an original cable, the one i have is broken in three pieces and it is also a bit stretched? Its of course possible to measure the distance...

Thank you both for your info and for the good pics. I think its how it should look like, since I cant find any rest of any plastic skin. The one one the pics looks quite much the same as the one i have, only the nut is a bit different since my nut is not covered by aluminium. I think I will restore ...

On the flexible metal spiral hose/cover from the NZ 500, there can also be seen some fragments from black or dark grey paint. Also the "nut" in the upper end that attaches the cable to the speedo seems to be black plastic or bakelite (same kind of material as the gear shift knob on fuel tank) , when...

Can someone inform me how the original NZ 350 speedometer cable should look like? When looking at shop websites that sell DKW parts and at ebay, all speedo cables there are covered with a thin plastic hose/skin, did they really look like that in 1939 :roll: I have one broken rusty old cable from a N...

Hi,

Can someone tell me why the alternator warning lamp has to be 12 V on a NZ 350 when the bikes other electric system is 6V?

Hi again, In the parts manual that i have, is a picture of a metal fuel pipe (Kraftstoffleitung 122702-0) and the pipe connector thread on the fuel tap for the fuel pipe should be M12x1,5, please also check the NZ 350 picture/drawing on this forums "Startseite" there you can also see the metal fuel ...

Hi Wilhelm,

I measured my own fuel tap connection brazed to the fuel tank and the thread is M14X1,5, also according to the parts manual the thread should be M14X1,5

Hi Guys,

According to the parts manual it seems that the one in the middle is the right one. If any of them is for sale, please write me an PM.

Best regards: Frank

Hi again,

Also info where to purchase a used one in fair/restorable condition is welcome. Do anyone have a good picture of a original one, or any info about maker and type of the fuel tap?

Regards: Frank

Hi everyone,

Does someone know where a new fueltap of original type with water bowl and with a connection for a metal fuel pipe can be purchased? Tried to check out German ebay and German web shops, but I have not seen any so far.

Hi Stalker, This Hungarian guy is advertising on Swedish internet sites that he manufactures new pistons for all type of oldtimer motorbikes, also for DKW for a cost of 1000 Sek (about 100 Euros). Here is the guys e-mail and phonenumbers found in his advertise: gergelyl@hotmail.com Gregory (mobile n...

Hi Again, I agree with you since I am restoring my bike not for show purpose, but for use, therefore I want to find a piston of good quality to an acceptable price also. Also seen repro pistons in Germany sold for 250-300 Euros, which I think is a bit too much. Who manufactured the genuine DKW pisto...

Hi Stalker, Thanks for your info, seems that I have to investigate this piston issue more, seems that much of the NZ repro stuff sold out there is totally crap, not made for use, only for business.... In my opinion a IZH 350 is a beautiful bike, but I dont want to restore my NZ with IZH parts, in my...

Thank you for the clearifying info Rob.Do-it-yourself-pistons in other words
