Re: how to check if its been writen off

Re: Air box removal seizes

Thanks very much I'll try both. I think it probably still is the square bolt but has rounded enough for it to spin. I tried getting a screwdriver in from the bottom of the bracket but to no avail. Thanks again You dont insert the screwdriver from the bottom you insert it from above the battery tray...

Re: Air box removal seizes

The bolt should have a square head so it doesn't spin.If someone has replaced it with an ordinary bolt you can get a flat bladed screwdriver in from the other side (battery side) and lock the screw head so it doesn't spin.

Re: Halfords v Scooter dealer.

I don't get the original question to be honest. A five litre plastic can from halfrauds is about a fiver, a standard lambretta tank is less than thirty quid? Keep up at the back. http://www.lambrettaspares.com/spares/fuel-and-air-filter-systems/long-range-lambretta-fuel-tank-12-litres-plastic-jet-2...

Re: 50/50 ?

I built a GP engine a while ago.I fitted a new SKF drive side bearing,but the crank,a brand new MEC crank,just slipped into the bearing with ease.I thought the crank must be at fault,but I tried a new bearing and that was a nice tight interferance fit.
