What ever happened to Lambretta Body Bits? Out of Luton I believe. They made excellent body work.

Re: Race Tour Pistons
How does a steel pin get welded into an ali. piston? Put a loop in the pin, fit and weld round it? Just can't picture itulyssescale wrote: I sent the piston away to have the top pin removed and replaced with a welded-in pin.

Sounds like the outer is flexing in one way or another.

Re: Fuel in the states - 1980 Vespa P200e
If there is a new gas station in the area, go to it. The fuel holding tanks will not have been in the ground long and won't have too much crap in them. Run he highest octane you can find, hopefully 93. Avoid 87 unless there is nothing else, you still get home, just go easy. Nowadays I retard the ign...
