Clark’s of Nechells lambretta cables?
S.J. Clark cables of St.Clements Rd, Birmingham 7.
Any idea how old? Came in a box of parts along with a scooter. It’s a front brake cable for a TV Mk.1

Re: ? About wrist pin shims vs wider small end bearing
Hi, I’ve got a new MEC 175 crank. The big end does not look shimmed. There is too large a gap between the small end bearing and the sides of the piston. I don’t have shims on hand but I do have a wider small end bearing. Assuming it’s within tolerance of the sides of the piston, is that sufficient?...

Re: POLINI 210 ALLOY
After much frigging around this is what I settled on: 132 main. 160be3. 62-160 pilot.
That’s with a new 210 ALU barrel and head. Bgm Si26 carb. Drilled air filter. Sip road 2 exhaust. Case is not matched to barrel.
And I love this kit.

Re: Impurities or alloys that complicate case or headset welding?
All i can say is that Shaun burns welded loads of lambretta alloy for me: headsets, cases, horncasts, gear change etc. And it was spot on. Unfortunately, I have no idea what technique(s) he used, but all I'm saying is that a competent chap with the right gear can do it, and it was cheap too. The he...

Re: Impurities or alloys that complicate case or headset welding?
Welding die cast alloys in general is a dirty and messy job. I found a very light pass, perhaps skipping - after a good grind - then keep all the garbage away repeating light pass and grinding back until the amount of porosity is acceptable. This takes time which usually is not worth the cost if re...

Impurities or alloys that complicate case or headset welding?
Doing a resto. Case stud needs to be refilled and tapped. Then headset bottom needs welding. My welder asked about magnesium or impurities in the cast.

Which way towards exhaust on this piston?
It’s a Borgo piston from my s3tv175. I wrongly assumed the crown had an arrow. Can you tell from the skirt which is the exhaust side?
Thx

Borgo Asso piston? On an original tv175
Hey, say hello to my 5,000 original mile s3tv175. The piston says Borgo on the top and asso inside. I’ve heard of asso, a search on Borgo says it’s what original Ducati used. Anyone? And when I opened the side case it looks like I’m the first one in. *squeel* https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2019112...
