another option http://www.scootopia.co.uk/product/7359-3304/Scootopia-Lambretta-42mm-Ancillotti-exhaust mate of mine picked one up yesterday, had a look at it seems well built & for the price is about £40 more than an AF clubman but a lot cheaper than an Ancillotti or MB clubman. Like I say seem...

Re: old scooter
I bought this 10 years ago. Done nothing with it. Was sprayed over and bits welded by someone in Spain during its life. Not sure what to do with it. http://s273.photobucket.com/user/robbiegk/media/IMG_20140303_165959.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj229/robbiegk/IMG_2014...

Re: 5 plate clutch set up - any recommendations?
SX gearboxes are much harder on clutches than a GP. My Jet is fitted with a ReadSpeed 5 plate clutch and has dealt with a long stroke Mugello for several years. No need to fit a different basket and spider etc either. http://www.ekmpowershop2.com/ekmps/shops/readspeed/readspeed-supergrip-lambretta-...
