Re: Disc brake seals
Got them sorted, split the caliper and just pushed the pistons in in the vice. Now the problem is that the bleed nipple is 'bleeding even when tightened right down, going to stick a bolt in for a temp solution but is there a seat or something the nipple sits into that may need replaced?

Disc brake seals
Stripped the caliper a long time ago so not sure which seals I use, also how do I get the bloody piston back in? Never done this disc brake melarkey before.

70.8mm piston
I have been generously given a Rapido kit bored to 70.8mm. I need rings for the meteor piston but can't seem to locate them, so I came across this. He tells me they're made in the same factory that produce ASSO pistons and are the same quality... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAMBRETTA-PERFORMANCE-GP-22...

SIL Crank with Jap bearing - Scooter Restorations
Anyone have any opinions on these cranks?
Mate is doing a rebuild on a SIL 200 motor, standard top end with a JL and a 30mm Dellorto and it seems like a reasonable crank to use.
Cheers

Re: Cyclone with MB Layshft
With an Innocenti layshaft I had to change the MB bearing for a Casa on, machine the inside of the endplate and fit an Li kickstart ramp - so there are a few issues fitting with different components it seems, worth it in the end I think though

Re: What's really going on inside your lambretta engine
Right, just cut 1/4 off my barrel and head with the grinder and it looks just like this, so how do I set the squish now?

Re: my first ever scooter build. cagiva mito 125 engine
Great build and great thread.
I'm the type of bloke that if I read a book I read for 15 hours, the whole book, therefore I don't read books...
So, any chance of taking a week or 2 off work and getting on with this I need more,...now!!
