Vespa frame struts
Just trying to restore a Vespa frame for the first time, the struts on the underside of the frame are vented to prevent rust but I'm tempted to block everything with seam sealer and then no water can get in in the first place. So far the frame has been blasted and I fed as much Jenolite into the st...

Re: Engine number
They were only interested in the frame number when I had mine inspected, didn't even look at the engine number. Yes, but they will want to write an engine number on the new log book, which will then start the questions! You could get a friendly copper to take it away and have it x-rayed to find out...

Re: Engine number
I think he's got a spare 150 casing, but doesn't want to build up an engine just for the inspection. why not stamping another number in it, a tv3 number which is gone ? This sounds feasible although a bit dodgy as it's about to be inspected. I suppose the next problem is how do you find out this &qu...

Engine number
A mate is restoring an un-registered Lammy but the GT engine casing he has, lost its number (all of it) back when the 125 law came in and people were paranoid about getting stopped with "200" written on their engine casing. He is concerned that this may cause problems when having the scoot...

Re: Porting tools....???
Cheers J1MS, the comparison photo would be useful. Previously I was using a Proxion 90 to reach the transfers and this required cutting down the shafts of burrs and grinding points, and still the access is very limited. (but a big improvement on the snapped riffler files that I used to struggle with...

Re: Porting tools....???
J1MS, how dose the NSK head compare with the blue point one? I haven't gotten round to ordering one yet as I've bought a lot of tools this month already! I've just got a Sealey micro die grinder and it's a lot more controlable than the big (6mm) DeSeuter one I was using before, (though the 6mm one i...

Re: Porting tools....???
Ancillotti........ about 44mm...... That looks like it'll do for me then. I'd have prefered electric but £160 for trusted quality against about £400 or more with uncertain quality. I think the decision has been made for me. I think what J1MS has said about torque may be worth considering but I thi...

Re: What type of plating??
I've just noticed what I'd written for 17, it should have said zinc, I must have read it as fork links.
I've never seen a factory painted headset clamp though, I'm not saying they never were, but I haven't seen one.
