Re: Endplate shim

I thought I would give an update on this thread. I fitted a bigger shim and got the gap down to a very nice .1mm.

Endplate shim

Hi all, Lambretta series 3 standard set-up. What problem(s) may be caused if the endplate shim gap is too large?

Re: Stainless bridge piece fit.

Well the bridge position looks about right to me. Add a rubber and the cosmetics will improve.
