You mean one of these, proper dirty sexy
This is what I was running in mine until I crashed in a ditch, unknowingly shattering the well-dodgy fan, and heat-seized about a mile down the road.
All sorted now and still running with a new stronger fan.
But that Parma stuff is too nice to hide behind cowlings, anyone for clear perspex cowlings

Aye Ad. From what i understand is that Tino sourced and produced, Parma was a copy using the same components except for a redesigned fan. Guts are all the same.

looks like a old Beedspeed vespa flywheel and stator conversion for a lammy, had one on my GP years ago, it was good until a stone flicked in the cowling and shagged all the fins

Had it made with the help of John Howe at Jahspeed when I lived in Colchester around 1990, quite simple to do once the flywheel is turned down.The vespa and lammy flywheel bosses are interchangeable as are the stators and their backplates.
