Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
Side panels still the biggest issue that is giving me grief. I'm convinced they're too shallow. I had a new main crossmember welded on by a proper and well known scooter shop on a proper frame jig. Have no reason to doubt what they've done but is this gap underneath normal? https://i.postimg.cc/kgZT...

Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
Did a few hours in the heat this evening - rear runner edge profile wasn't right - too shallow/pointed so cut a slot and a wedge out and fandangled it back together... https://i.postimg.cc/g0ZNgKhy/IMG-6535.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/C5F7LTQJ/IMG-6537.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ZnVcWskm/IMG-6538.jpg Fit...

Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
If I pack up the footboard it needs to go so high that I run out of thread on the rear runners. I've bought some threaded M5 (M4?) sleeves so could extend them(as below), but not ideal as it messes with the leggies as well and I'll have to put probably 10mm of packing under the main and front crossm...

Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
However the main issue I've got is that when I offer up the side panels and footboards I've got a hell of a gap at the bottom of the panels. This is the gap on the kickstart side - I've got the beading installed on the flange but the footboard is flat on the crossmember and rear stay. https://i.post...

Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
I've kept the chrome ring on as a reference point - do S2 leggies all step in below the ring or should the throat be deeper and be flush with the back edge of the ring?

Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
Start of the questions - assume these little nicks out of the lower corners of re-made side panels aren't original and I'll have to make up little repairs and weld them in?

Re: Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
Obviously I've bought decent leggies front guard and side panels. Frame was very rotten in weird places, like it had either been under water or maybe been stored for a long time under sheets that held water/outside? Loop was rusted through on top flange edges and on rear box section between panel ha...

Lloydie's S2 (slow) restoration
Hiya - introduced myself and promised a build thread. This might not be frequent but let's start... Scottish registered late S1/early S2 frame. Bought this as a basket case probably 15 years ago. Haven't restored a Lambretta before so some pointers would be useful. I have restored my MG Midget about...
