and then me balls fell out

Oh woe is me ...thrice woe . :( For I have committed the cardinal sin of '...if it ain't broke don't f**k with it ' Fitting the gear selector fork and shaft and adjusting the end float etc I carefully operated the gear shift arm for the umpteenth time to check everything was working smoothly after s...

Re: camera recomendation

if you want a super compact HD action cam the size of a Tic Tac box 60mm x 35mm x 17mm I'd thoroughly recommend the Mobius or the later version Mobius 2 its small and light enough to atttach to small quadcopters and is used extensively by the Drone and RC flying crowd. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mobi...

Re: Standardish Lambretta Set Ups

I have gone back to standard on my 150 special and although it's not as quick as it was with the mugello kit, clubman and 25mm dellorto it's quiet, does miles to gallon and a pleasure to ride. Hi Tractorman. Are you running with a standard 18mm, carb, and standard exhaust? Got an 18mm on mine, and ...

Re: Drive side Hallite washer question

Have you considered the RLC x260 seal plate with the viton ring? I've not used one myself but they look good, if a little expensive. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Funnily enough I was just reading about that plate the other day. I think it must have been on the SULK site maybe. I could never...

Re: Drive side Hallite washer question

If you use the aluminium type of seal plate,they distort on tightening. Yeah I read that in Sticky , fortunately all the plates I have are all original Innocenti steel but the one I chose to use I fitted a Viton Oil Seal before checking the gasket surface for flatness and it looks like its slightly...

Re: Drive side Hallite washer question

I would use the new washer,but instead of grease I would cover both sides of the washer in silicone gasket sealant,that way when its compressed it will seal and prevent oil from the gearbox entering the cylinder. yes thats definitely preferable to grease. I always use Threebond on all my bikes and ...

Re: Drive side Hallite washer question

thanks for the replies guys. So you wouldn't be concerned that the original gasket is nearly 3x times as thick as the new one supplied by a major UK Lambretta dealer ?mmm...all sounds a bit 'gung ho' to me :D I'm thinking....... yeah I could also just ignore the difference in thickness and hope for ...

Drive side Hallite washer question

I'm just about to fit the drive plate washer before I fit the plate and I notice that the new washer provided in a gasket set is a lot thinner than the original gasket I removed. I measure the depth to the drive side bearing to be 3.5mm from the plate flange and the drive plate projection that inser...

Re: question about gear selector arm compatibility

sorry Grumpy I didn't notice your location. The shipping costs and transit time would probably kill the deal but thank you for offering anyway , you're a star !
