Secure Your Ride: Prima 8-Pole Ignition Switch & Keys

Restore the security and electrical reliability of your vintage machine with the Prima 8-Pole Ignition Switch. Engineered as a high-quality replacement for the standard US-market Vespa P-Series, this switch ensures a crisp "click" between positions and a reliable electrical connection for your ignition and lighting circuits. Whether you are dealing with a lost key, a worn-out tumbler, or intermittent electrical shorts, this 8-pole assembly provides a factory-perfect fit and finish.

Technical Performance Features

  • 8-Pole Electrical Contact: Specifically designed for late-style wiring harnesses, managing ignition, lighting, and ground circuits with a single keyed unit.
  • Complete Security Set: Includes two precision-cut keys and a high-impact bezel for a clean, professional-looking restoration of your headset.
  • Smooth Tumbler Action: Features a high-tolerance internal mechanism that resists jamming and provides positive tactile feedback in all three positions.
  • Direct OEM Fitment: Designed by Prima, the industry leader in vintage scooter components, to meet or exceed original Piaggio specifications.
