Vespa Rally fuel cap

Just fitting an original Ancillotti seat to my Rally 200, it fits round the raised tank ok, but the fuel cap fastener is tight against the seat base, and I wondered if anyone has used / knows of a flatter fitting fuel cap I could use, or will I have to reprofile the seat base with the standard servc...

Re: Scootopia SH2/22

Fitted one at the weekend to replace original but worn out Dellorto. Good quality, I did re-use the jets from my old carb (which confirms they fit ok, but I can't comment on how good the ones supplied were) - the plastic gauze filter on the fuel pipe banjo was missing, so again, used the one from th...

Re: Few old pics from 1981

Electronic stator

Looking to convert my 6v DC Italian Electronic to 12v DC as I want better lights etc, I think the options are; - 1. buy a brand new kit - can anyone recommend one? 2. convert my stator to 12v - which I'd prefer not to do in case I decide to go back to 6v. 3. fit an Indian stator and use the Italian ...
