pressure switch

[jerry]

The pressure switch on my S4 has sheared at the bolt ,damn thing was only hand tight when it bust , I have temporary fitted an old spark plug in the hole as its same thread so i can use the bike , seems Ducati Thailand dont stock it so i will order one from UK which will take a month to get here if not stolen in the post but are there any cars that use it so i might try some local parts store GM, FIAT etc or the generic make of the switch ..also i may try repair with steel epoxy but not holding my breath

Taken from another Ducati site;
"For newer Ducati models (original Ducati code 539.4.030.1A and 539.4.019.1A) - Opel Agila 1000cc. The General Motors code is 90.534.902."
