Side covers for 1970

VT10 · Jul 17, 2018

Newbie here:

Anyone know if the later sidecovers will fit my 1970? Mine has a hole for ignition switch and the others don't but otherwise look similar.

Trying to post pics but looks like you have to subscribe to a photo hosting service and have a url vs just uploading. Suggestions for this now Photobucket is gone?

Short answer, no, at least not without some modifications.

Didn't 750S had the hole for the ignition switch the Roadster did not.

The '70 Roadster was not much more than a low exhaust pipe version of the S Type with the same central oil tank, S Type panels (and ignition switch in the LH panel).

Thanks for the replies.
I was hoping to get the nice set of orange pearl bodywork currently on eBay for a change of clothes. Looks like they are not going to work. Regardless, my originals come back from the painter with some very nice fresh and deep Fireflake Roman Purple.
Any advice on photo hosting sites to post pics?

Maybe somebody else wants them...
