March 5, 200818 yr I wonder if anyone can help I have recently stumbled across a green 350 ossa in very good original cond. I would like to know if anyone could put a date on it and also if anyone knows who is best to buy spare parts from as the rear brake plate needs replacing.
March 5, 200818 yr If it is in original condition and has a black frame it will be the Ossa TR77 which is 77 - 78. If it has the green frame it is the Ossa Verde which is 79 - 80 (essentially the same bike restyled) The engine/frame numbers should match (apart from the prefix letters) and if you go onto the site below and scroll down a bit to the Pictures, Links, Articles and Info section there is a frame number check list link from which you can confirm which model you have. Mats Nyberg Ossa site If your brake plate is just broken try and get it fixed if possible as they can be TIG welded. They usually break by snapping off the casting where the slot is that locates the plate to the lug on the swingarm. It's an item that is not easily available, try the usual breakers or keep an eye on ebay if you do need another. Watch that it is the same as yours though as they can differ slightly inside depending on year (no idea why) as the flange that sits against the wheel bearing can be different lengths. You can't tell from the outside and if you get the wrong one it won't fit properly.
