Re: Lambretta dampers
I just purchased a set of targaline dampers from camlam cost me an arm and a leg but they do the job and look mighty good to boot.Got the anodised red set which are really hard to find as well so chuffed with them.

Re: Paintwork scratch's easy

Re: Rear brake cable
I use the cub rear brake costs a tenner with the outer(I don't bother with that use a standard outer) from most honda dealers just cut the ferrel of the end.Much better than the original plus if you need to take your engine out there's no need to undo it at the legshield end.

Re: Mb rear bearings
Same here done 100's miles back in the 80's and never needed to change one now it seems I need to change one on every scoot I ever get.Maybe it was because I was used to just sliding around and thought that was the norm back then.
